Women and Adventure
Description:
We will read and analyze the life stories of unconventional women from a variety of different backgrounds and historical periods, in order to explore what "adventure" has meant to women. Readings will include biography, memoirs, letters, travel narratives, spiritual transformation stories, and other "true" narratives. We will ask how adventurous women have defined their quests and justified their violation of womanly norms of their day. This course may count toward the Women's Studies major or minor.
