Welcome to Women in Literature! 

We have an exciting semester ahead exploring the rich legacy of literary works by women, the images of women in the literary imagination, and the conditions and inspiration that brought women's work into print.

This will be your class website.  Here you can find familiar assistance that will be useful to you throughout the class curriculum.  (You might want to bookmark it on your computer right now!)

First, you can visit the pages which describe how an Online Course works:  Just click on "About Your Class" in the menu below.

The frame on the left will also allow you to view and print out a copy of the Course Overview and Syllabus,  the Reading List and Recommended Readings, the Assignments and information about the Final Research Project, interesting web Resources and Web Sites, the Grading Policies, and information about contacting yours truly, your Instructor.

The graphic on the right will always lead you to a review of the Lecture Notes for the current week.

I encourage you to participate as quickly as possible in the on-line Discussion Group, on the Blackboard site.  You must post at least once a week to pass the class!

Sharing your own stories and listening to the stories of your classmates is an important benefit of a computer-based course.
