What means women and literature to me?
It means struggle, education, work, literacy, space, brilliance, creativity, challenge, prejudice, fight, fun, freedom, words, words, words, voice, power---loss, gain, lost, survive, sisters who could but could not, mothers who wished but wanted, roles and reassignments, hidden faces behind fictitious names---that which will never be because it never was---that which was born and that which was killed---words written, words erased, words imagined---Women in Literature---women writing, women living, women reading, women succeeding--that means women in literature to me.
About Me
- Women in Literature
- I am a graduate student in English pursuing my Ph.D. My research involves discourse anaylsis of Muslim women's conversion stories on the web. I have two children who have (not) taught me to manage my time and stick to a schedule, but have taught me about the brilliance of uncorrupted minds and that children are shaped by ALL that they hear and see.

I just wanted to say that even though i was skeptical, walking into this class, it is an experience i will never forget. When my advisor suggested it for the summer, i thought she was nuts, but i am glad i took it because i have not felt like i was stuck in a classroom at all, i felt like its been a pleasant experience and im going to miss this class and seeing everyone twice a week but i am glad i formed a bond with Ameesh, Lauren and you because without taking this class i would not have had to opportunaty to do so,
