COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this course we will examine women’s lives and experiences as they are shaped by their
culture and their culture’s concept of gender. We will pay close attention to the way the
cultural category of gender illuminates our understanding of what it means to be a woman
in particular cultures. I refer to culture as the values, beliefs, norms, behavior, gender
roles and the cultural meanings by which women interpret their experiences and their
lives. It is through their cultural system of meaning that women interpret, reflect and
make sense of their experiences and their lives. We will read memoirs of women from
cultures different from our own as a means to learn how culture shapes their lives, and
the meanings narrators associate with life events.. Through memoirs, we will learn about
the social norms and cultural rules which shape women’s relationships, gender roles and
behaviors and its consequences as a member of a particular culture. Women make their
own lives but they do so under conditions and terms not of their own making. Our
readings will emphasize both the content and context of women’s lives, and especially
how their lives are affected by historical events, ethnicity, socio-economic factors, and
international affairs. It is my hope, that as a result of the work we do in this course, you
will be more mindful of how culture affects and shapes your own lives.

CHALLENGING READING SCHEDULE
I am aware that the reading schedule for this course is demanding. I counted pages
so that the amount of reading per day would be reasonable. Since this is a 300 level
course and a MWF course, the amount of reading—i.e., the number of pages to be
read—during any given week tends to be at or just under a hundred pages.
However, the memoirs I have selected are interesting (I hope you will agree with me
about this) are “page turners”. Some memoirs, no doubt, will be read in one sitting.
I hope you will use the weekend to catch up on readings not completed during the
,
week; though, I do realize that many of you work and have responsibilities to your
other courses, and you have obligations to your families.
I expect that you will work out a schedule which will keep you current with the
reading schedule. Obviously, as I write this syllabus, I have no ideas about the
demands of your other courses or your livelihood. Therefore, I suggest the 75%
rule: try to read 75% of the assigned reading for the week and make up the rest as
best you can. Do not fall too far behind. If you have trouble with keeping current
with the reading assignments for class and/or papers, please speak to me as soon as
possible. We can always work something out. I am always willing to cooperate with
my students so long as I am informed about the problem(s) as soon as possible.
PART I
COURSE PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
Students will be expected to be prepared for each class by doing the assigned readings.
Your final grade is derived from the following areas: attendance, prepared for class
discussion based on your knowledge of assigned readings, reading notes, and book
essays based on assigned reading.
1. READING NOTES 35 POINTS PER NOTES PER CLASS
You are expected to make annotations to the text as you read and after your reading, to
write about your annotations adding additional comments and questions.. See handout
entitled Reading and Notes for Class Discussion. Reading notes are due for each class
and are based on the assigned reading for the day. Reading Notes should be typed but I
will accept handwritten notes so long as they are legible and neat. Please write with a ball
point pen. I DO prefer that they be typed. Reading Notes have a very specific form: use
bullet point single spaced mini paragraphs if you type your notes. Please skip two spaces
between paragraphs. In the left corner of the page insert your name and date. Skip two
spaces and center the name of the book, its author and the pages of the assigned readings.
The length of your reading notes should be no less than five mini paragraphs. If your
notes are handwritten, please use lined paper and write your name and date in the upper
left corner of the page. Write the name, author and pages of the assignment across the
first line of the page. Begin your paragraphs on the left margin of the page. Number your
paragraphs and skip two lines between paragraphs. The length of your reading notes
should be no less than 5 mini paragraphs.
Class discussion is based on your reading notes. If you do not have reading notes for
class, please do not come to class . Without Reading Notes you will not be able to
initiate and participate in class discussion. After you annotate your notes (see below InClass Writing) Reading Notes are collected at the end of class and are returned to you
with a grade. You will receive a numerical score reflecting both the quality of your
reading, note taking and in-class writing. Reading notes are valued at 35 points and inclass annotation is values at 15 points for a total of 50 points. Be aware, I will not accept
late reading notes. See my policy for Late Submissions of Reading Notes and
Reading Critique.
,
WHAT ARE READING NOTES ABOUT?
See the handout for the way you should structure your reading so that you will take good
notes. Reading Notes are a critical (meaning analytical) commentary which you make
about the assigned reading as you critically read the memoir. Among other things,
Reading notes are about your reactions to the content of what is being told including
your impressions, questions, and your ideas and the content of your own reflections
about what you read.. Reading notes are also the place where you raise questions and
make observations about the culture, gender and the context and content of the memoir
and narrator’s reasons for revealing what is revealed. Keep in mind that the narrator
makes choices about what to reveal. What is revealed is central to her concept of self
and the experiences she tells us about. Everything told fulfills a purpose. The
narrator’s purposes are encoded in the major themes she presents and the major
relationships she discusses. Identify major themes and tell how they contribute to the
memoir. Identify cultural values, beliefs, norms as they are revealed, implicitly and
explicitly in the narrative. What does the relationships discussed in the memoir reveal
about the narrator? How would you characterize the relationships discussed in the
memoir from the point of view of the narrator? Drawing about cultural values, norms
and beliefs, account for the types of relationships that exist between the author and
others. Of what is revealed what makes sense to you? Why? What doesn’t make sense to
you? Put yourself in the place of the narrator but in your own culture. What works? What
is difficult to imagine? Why? How would you behave in the same circumstances?
Reading notes are a compellation of what strikes you as you read. Reading Notes also
reflect an analysis of what you have read guided by your questions, comments and
insights. Be sure to include how you are affected by what you read
Each of the assigned books has a historical and cultural context. While I do not expect
you to be familiar with all the historical contexts, I do expect that you will raise questions
and do some limited background research.. The context of each memoir is central to the
narrator’s narrative.
A Word Of Caution: you will bring to your reading of the memoir your own cultural
processes of “sense-making” and “interpretations”. You cannot do otherwise. However,
you must be aware that these processes block your in-depth understanding of the memoir
because each memoir is written by a woman from a culture different than your own and
in different time periods. Since you come from a different culture and live in a different
time period, in reality nothing should make sense to you. The best away for you to
thwart a biased reading is first, be aware of your own cultural sense-making processes
and secondly to constantly challenge your interpretation of what you are reading.
Constantly ask the question why. The rhythm is read, monitor your reading, challenge
your reading, interpret and question your interpretation. Constantly ask the question
“why?” and “why is this interpretation so?” and “what does this “telling about” mean to
the narrator? Put yourself in the narrator’s position and figure out why she acts and feels
and believes they she does. Why do her actions and feelings make sense to her?
,
2.IN-CLASS WRITING NOTATIONS ON READING NOTES 15 POINTS PER CLASS
Ten minutes before class ends, I will ask you to notate your Reading Notes. Notating
your reading notes is a means of moving your thinking forwards. In other words, you will
be asked to revise, expand, comment on, rethink, or elaborate your ideas based on the
discussion in the first half part of each class period. It is also an excellent gauge of what
you learned and of your efforts to learn during the class session. Your notations are
based on CLASS DISCUSSION and YOUR THINKING ABOUT ISSUES DURING
CLASS. Your notations should reflect a refinement of your notes along with insights
gained, as a result of class discussion. You should feel free to write in response to any
comment made during class discussion. Reading Notes are turned in at the end of each
class. Notation of your Reading Notes is valued at 15 points per revised Reading Notes.
(See Handout directions and tips for Reading Notes).
3. CLASS DISCUSSION 200 POINTS
The success or failure of this class depends on the conversations we have as we discuss
the assigned readings. Class will begin with my asking a student to present and overview
of her or his reading notes/ make a comment about what was remarkable/disappointing
about the assigned reading,/invite questions about the culture or the context of the reading
and /tell how the reading affected you. You will use your Reading Notes as a departure
point for class discussion. Students are expected to engage fully in each class discussion,
demonstrating your knowledge of, and critical thinking about the reading assignment for
the class session.
ADDITIONAL IDEAS FOR R EADING NOTES AND CLASS DISCUSSION
Look over this list, pick two OR three items and come prepared to discuss the items you
have selected. Alternatively, the items on the list may prompt a question or to. Come to
class prepared to ask the class to think about your question(s) and respond to it.

State the importance or significance of the assigned reading i.e., “I think
this reading is important because……….….”
 Identify specific points of interests, i.e.,” Two aspects of the reading that I
found most interesting, found troubling, challenged strongly held beliefs,
changed your point of view, provided new insights and helped you to
understand gender and culture better and so on
 Say something about how certain aspects of the culture studied (for
example, women’s social roles, women’s life cycle, women’s relationships)
has specifically affected women’s lives.
 Say something about what you found surprising and hard to believe in
the assigned reading.
 I didn’t know that! Or I do not understand the historical and/or cultural
context discussed in the readings. Please explain.
,
 State your opinion about the author’s purpose and whether or not you
think the author achieved her or his purpose.
 Point out something that challenges your point of view.
 Ask questions about the social/historical context; ask questions about
choices made by women
 Put yourself in the same situation as the women in the memoir/novel and
think about what would you do; thus think about the differences in
culture
4. READING LOGS
I urge you to keep a Reading Log. The Reading Log is for your own use. It is a place
where you summarize your reading; identify key themes, gather information about the
narrator, context, and contains your questions and your reflection about what you have
read. It’s the place where you keep a record of your impressions of the narrator and her
story and a record of how the readings affect you. Moreover it is the place where you
collect information required for the BOOK ESSAY. (See format for Writing Book
Essays) The Reading Log should be very helpful when you begin writing your Book
Essays (See Handout for further information)
5.BOOK ESSAYS 100 POINTS EACH FOR A TOTAL OF 300 POINTS
THREE BOOK ESSAYS are required for the course. For two of the essays you will have
a choice between two memoirs selecting one memoir you would like to write about for
your Book Essay. For the third essay, you must select the memoir Unbowed: A Memoir.
See course schedule for due dates for Book Essays. The length of the paper is determined
by your responses to the items in the framework stated in the HANDOUT
I take writing very seriously. I will be looking for your responses to the points raised in
the HANDOUT, creativity (how you choose to present the material) your reflections and
how the memoir affected you. I admire the use of clear and vivid language. Of course,
correct spelling, grammar, and syntax provide the over-all polish to your essay. If it
helps, I will read drafts or I will read your paper as a draft and make comments. You can
then make corrections/additions and re-submit your book essay.
PLEASE NOTE: SOME GOOD ADVICE
Do not wait until the weekend before your Book Essay is due to start to write it. I have
provided an FORMAT of the Book Essay (see Handout) with specifics which you can
use to take notes and make comments as you read. Aim to have comprehensive notes on
all items listed above before you begin your Book Essay. Also, if you keep a Reading
Log as I have suggested, you should have no problem organizing and writing your essay
ahead of the due date. Your major problem should be selecting the key information and
the important notations you have made as you read the memoirs. Refer to your Reading
Notes and Annotations and my comments when writing your memoir essay If you wait
,
until the weekend before the Book Essay is due to collect material and write your essay,
you will find yourself overwhelmed and most likely you will write an unsuccessful essay.
PART II
COURSE POLICY
ATTENDANCE
Attendance is mandatory. I expect you to attend all classes and come to class with the
reading done. However, I am aware of how many obligations you have – in other classes,
at work and to your family. If you find it difficult to do the readings for a class or
complete an assignment, please talk to me about it. Also, I ask that you do not come to
class if you are not prepared to participate in class discussion and have completed a
majority of the assigned readings. Attendance will be taken at every class. Since the
design of this course is based on class discussions, your consistent attendance is
especially important. You cannot earn a good grade in this course if you do not attend
class. Un-excused absences result in a drop of one full grade. If you are unable to attend
class for any reason, email me before class to let me know that you will not be there. If
you have a medical or another emergency, let me know as soon as possible. 8 points will
be deducted for each unexcused absence.
MUTUAL RESPECT
Our class forms a learning community for each 45minute session we meet during the
term. We each have a role to play and the success of the course depends on the
participation of all of us. Come to class prepared to participate in class discussion having
read the reading assignment. If you find the readings and assignments overwhelming,
please talk to me. Mutual respect is an important part of any class I teach. Suffice it to say
e may disagree with one and another; but, we do so respectfully. Everyone in the class
has an opinion and that opinion should be expressed without concern about the respect
given the speaker.
EMAILING READING NOTES, AND BOOK ESSAYS
I DO NOT ACCEPT READING NOTES, AND BOOK ESSAYS SENT VIA EMAI.
If you are ill and cannot attend class on due dates for BOOK ESSAYS AND/OR
READING NOTES, please bring a paper copy the next time you are in class. If
possible, I would you prefer it if you ask a friend or roommate to bring the
assignment to my office on the due date.
MONITORING YOUR EMAIL
I rely on email to communicate with my students. From time to time, I will email the
class information related to our readings, special discussion questions and notices related
to class work. Be sure to check your “mail box” two to three times a week. If you send
me email, I answer promptly.
,
LATE READING NOTES AND BOOK ESSAYS
AS A MATTER OF POLICY, I DO NOT ACCEPT LATE READING NOTES,
AND BOOK ESSAYS. If you are unable to come to class due to illness and/or
university obligations and/or family problems, please make an effort to have a
friend bring your reading notes and/ or essay to my office on the date it is due. If
that is not possible, then bring the item to the next class you attend. CAUTION:
YOU MUST HAVE MY PERMISSION TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK LATE. IF
YOU DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION, YOU LOOSE THE TOTAL POINTS
FOR THE ASSIGMENT(S) THAT IS/ARE LATE.
OFFICE HOURS
See beginning of syllabus for location and time of office hours. If the time is not
convenient for you, we can consult via email. I urge you all to take advantage of my
office hours. Students profit by discussing class work and readings; if you are unsure
about writing reading notes, it is a good idea to come to see me. Also, if you are having
difficulties keeping up with reading and/or written assignments, it is best that you come
in and talk to me about the problems. We can always work out some arrangement. If you
would like me to read a draft of your book essay, come in and tell me how I can be
helpful.
CLASS ETIQUETTE
The University is a place for adults. I expect that you will act accordingly
1. Once class begins I expect your attention and demonstrated willingness to
begin class discussion.
2. It is rude to whisper or talk while someone else is speaking even if hat you
have to say is pertinent to what the speaker has to say.
3. Turn off cell phones and other electronic devices’ before class begins. If a
phone rings during class, the student will forfeit 6 points.
4. No Text Messaging During Class. If you do text messaging during class, you
will forfeit 12 points.
5. Sitting in class and doing work for another class means you ill forfeit 12
points
6. Once you enter class, I expect that you will stay in class for the full class time
period. Obviously, you may leave class for a few minutes and return but
please do so quietly. Also, you may not feel well before class . If this is the
case, please do not come to class. Notify me as soon as possible via email
about your absence(s)
7. If you are in class and suddenly you do not feel well, just leave as quietly as
possible. Be sure to notify me as soon as possible by email.
8. If you have an appointment with an advisor or professor or some other
university business that will require you to leave before class ends, please tell
me about this before class begins. Be sure to leave me your Reading Critique.
Please leave as quietly as possible. Students are expected to engage fully in
each class discussion, demonstrating your knowledge of, and critical thinking
about, readings assigned for a particular day.
