Women's Studies 248
"Asian American Women Writers"

This course surveys the historical development of Asian American women’s literature. Among the questions central to our examination: How is Asian American writing positioned within the larger field of American literature (as well as within the sub-fields of other ethnic minority literatures)? Is there such a thing as a “canon” in Asian American literature? How has feminism impacted the writings of Asian American women? The first half of this course will survey early writings in their social and historical contexts. During the second half, we will look at the work of contemporary writers.
