This course introduces significant classical and contemporary literary texts written by and about women. Among the works studied are Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, Alice Walker’s The Color Purple, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll House, and Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire. Students in this course examine the status of women, cultural stereotypes represented in literature, the nature of a female literary tradition, and a range of feminist theories. Since no work is written in isolation of its political, intellectual, social, and artistic milieu, attention will given to the effects of sexism in the individual pieces of literature and during their time period. The course is organized into three main units: women and identity, autobiographical and immigrant literature, and marriage and motherhood. Course writings include analytical, imaginative, and personal essays.

This Guide identifies some 370 specialized print reference sources for women’s studies in the University of Chicago Library. It is limited to sources that focus upon women and women’s studies. It does not aim to identify reference material for broader areas such as sexuality or marriage and the family, which are indeed rich in material for the study of women and their roles in society. Nor does it seek to refer to the more general, biographical and bibliographical tools, such as Sociological Abstracts, Historical Abstracts, MLA, PAIS, American National Biography, or guides to dissertations or government documents and dissertations, many of which now exist as electronic databases. For information on broader sources of information, see the various general and subject guides that appear on the Library’s web pages.
