Feminist Studies in English: Women in Literature Option
 
The special concentration in Women & Literature permits students to choose 15 of the required 36 credits for the major from courses on women writers, women and film, women and literature and feminist criticism. These courses offer a historical perspective on works by women writers as well as the opportunity to examine the fresh approaches to literary study which have emerged from recent feminist criticism and scholarship. This concentration enables interested students to establish a regular program of study with English Department faculty who are actively engaged in feminist scholarship and women's studies.

Women and Literature courses pay particular attention to the social and cultural contexts in which literature and art forms emerge. The perspectives developed in these course will be applicable to the student's other work in the English major. A student selecting the Women & Literature option chooses the 15 concentration credits from the following courses:
