Japanese women writers wrote the most heralded novels and poetic diaries in the classical literary canon; this celebration of women's literary contributions is an anomaly among world literatures.

This course will examine literature by and about women at the turn of the last century. During this period, there were radical changes in women's social and economic roles as the ideal of "true womanhood" — the pious, submissive, domestic "steel-engraving lady" of the 19th century — gave way to the ideal of the independent, athletic, economically empowered "New Woman." Of course, like all ideals, the "New Woman" ideal both shaped and contradicted a more complex reality. We'll be looking at how literature of this period both reflects and shapes the lives of middle-class women, affluent women, women of color, immigrant women, working women, married women, single women, girls embarking on womanhood, and older women coming to terms with their life choices and social constraints. We'll also, from our own location on the brink of a new century, examine what has changed — and what hasn't — for women since the last turn of the century.

This course will focus on gender issues and public policy. The course will encourage you to look for the structural influences that condition individual options and choices and provide some new tools for analyzing women's lives. Looking at gender justice from a public policy perspective should alert you to the importance of political battles over policy in shaping the context in which women operate as social actors. Our focus will not be on the technical aspects of policy making, but rather on the implicit and often explicit assumptions about gender incorporated into policy and on examining the context and causes of policy shifts over time. We will also be attentive to women as political claimants seeking to influence policies that affect their lives, and to the different ways that women experience politics. One of the primary goals of this course is to address the problem of agreeing on a definition of gender justice and the consequent challenges involved in developing gender-justice policies.
