The theme of this course is an examination of narratives about women
in American civilization and how these narratives become paintings,
movies, and literature. We will begin with the early captive narratives
and look at how women continued to be represented in the arts, asking
whether this narrative changes in the 20th century. When women become
writers and artists, do they change the narrative? The primary audience
for this course is anyone interested in art, literature, the humanities
and women's studies.
