Topics course. In the strong male-dominated environment, women have always worked, written and fought side-by-side with men in the construction of Mexican identity. Starting with the period of the Revolution of 1910, women participated actively in the transformation of their country. This course recounts history and literature through women's perspectives by studying influential women throughout the 20th century. Mexican artists include Carmen Mondragon (Nahui Olin), Remedios Varo, Frida Khalo and Leonora Carrington. Fiction writers such as Nellie Campobello, Rosario Castellanos, Elena Garro, Elena Poniatowska and more contemporary writers encompass most of the readings for the class. Enrollment limited to 19.
Topic: Female Visions of Mexico.
