UNRULY: AN EXPLORATION OF WOMEN IN LITERATURE (Grades 10-12)
(ENG1059)

The goal of the course is to represent and explore voices of women who have challenged social norms and empowered themselves and others to break free from traditional roles. Through the study of literature, essays, and film, students will explore the historical context and current contemporary issues of gender roles, power, resistance, human rights, social justice, and relationships. Selections will represent diverse female writers and characters to illuminate how authentic female perspectives have often been discounted, fueling necessary and noteworthy change. Prerequisite: English 2
