Women Writing (in) the Early Republic (1780-1810)

Comments
This class focusses on Early American Women’s Writing from the late eighteenth to the early nineteenth century. Throughout the formative decades of the United States, American print culture constantly struggled to define itself and the country as such. While women were expected to assume a more private and domestic role in this idea(l) of the nation, many women wrote their way into the American public, regardless. In this class we will engage with different forms of such writing (novels, critical essays, periodical fragments, short stories etc.) and the way it grapples with and challenges constructions of womanhood and authoring. Our readings will include, but are not limited to, Judith Sargent Murray’s “On the Equality of the Sexes” (1790) and Sukey Vickery’s Emily Hamilton (1803). close
