What is a "feminist" work of literature?


Welcome students! You have found our class blog. Please post your response to our first-day assignment, commenting on the question:

What is a "feminist" work of literature? What, you may want to also ask, is "feminism"? And what does a feminist text DO -- or attempt to do for its reader(s)?

I look forward to reading your responses.

Best wishes,
Professor Laura Hinton
