| Summary: | In an attempt to understand the shaping of the feminine personality in contemporary society and the processing of culturally defined sex roles, their images and identities, this course, "Women in Literature," examines the diverse images of women and the female mystique as represented by selected feminine protagonists in noted literary works. Teaching strategies are suggested that will lead students to focus on personal views of feminine problems and to rationalize the docile acceptance of roles expected of women. The range of subject matter includes contemporary attitudes toward women, statistics on males and females, current media views of women, literary portrayals of women, life styles and achievements of contemporary women, and evaluation by students of attitudinal stances. Through analyses of literary heroines, of social, economic, and literary forces, and of the literary works themselves, insights should be provided into the divergence between fictional females and their real life counterparts.
