Spanish 492W - S-Spanish Am Women Writers

This course serves as a dialog between the writers of the twenty-first century and their predecessors of the twentieth century that were "written out" of the literary canon. Students will use the historical context and the biography of various authors (interviews, letters, and documentaries) to understand why women and LGBTQIA+ writers have been overshadowed or silenced. This course will feature short stories and novels which help us to explore what today has been called the new feminine Boom or the tsunami of women writers.
