Southern Women Writers UH, W

This course will examine the texts and traditions of women writers from the American South. Through close reading and writing, students will analyze the use of autobiography in these texts, exploring how writing as a southerner and as a woman shapes one’s work and achievement. Students will read works by some of the most distinguished writers of the last two centuries–including Zora Neale Hurston, Eudora Welty, Alice Walker, and Ellen Douglas, as well as lesser known writers.
