ENG 106 - Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own, and “A Society” (W) (1)

Virginia Woolf, feminist icon and brilliant writer, wrote her timeless essay/book, A Room of One’s Own, pointing out male privilege and the barriers facing women writers-and inspiring women to write. In the short story “A Society” she crafts a hilarious burlesque of male privilege, turning the tables to show women evaluating men-including cross-dressing and disguise. We will study these two works, and write papers, do research, and write scripts for podcasts of what we find. Not open to students who have previously completed a First Year Writing Course.
