From Margaret Atwood to Esi Edugyan, Canada’s women writers are internationally recognized as leading contributors to the world of literature. This course explores prose, poetry, drama, and fiction-theory writing by women in Canada. While the writers whose work we will explore are primarily of the contemporary, post-1960 period, our study will include a look at Canadian literary history and women's contributions to it. The course is also interested in modern theories of literary representation and subject identity. Questions of gender and sexuality, ethnicity, race, and class will be examined alongside recent developments in literary practice such as life writing.

The course aims to provide student with an awareness of the multiplicity, quality, and innovative nature of literary work produced by women in Canada. Students who successfully complete the course will achieve a deeper understanding of Canadian literature as well as knowledge of current debates and controversies regarding gender and writing in Canada.
