This course examines genres, themes, and styles of writing popular among women readers and writers, as well as identifies those writers who choose to defy literary conventions and create outside the domains allotted to women. Students will gain understanding of both gender theory and Russian culture by analyzing women's self-perception and its rendering in literary form. The authors studied come from different walks of life, social classes, and political identities, and yet most are united by the tendency to question the patriarchal social order and gender normativity. We will study the context for the practice of women reading and writing through the prism of such central Russian literary texts as Eugene Onegin and Anna Karenina. All reading materials, lectures, and discussions are in English. No knowledge of Russian is required.
