Purpose of Thesis
Literature by Lesbians is often omitted or overlooked by many survey courses,
including those found in many Women and Gender Studies programs. This
syllabus explores the progression of Lesbian literature and cultures as they are found
in twentieth-century American society and provides a resource for future
colloquiums dealing with these subjects. The selections, which are organized
chronologically, were chosen specifically to expose students to a range of literary
genres and Lesbian issues. Included are discussion questions and project guidelines
which are intended to promote student involvement in the readings and subjects.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Many thanks go to Kim and Jesse in the Women and Gender Studies Office
for their encouragement in my efforts and their patience in my enthusiasm.
Thanks to the Honors College for providing me with the opportunity and the
incentive to complete a project such as this. As advisor, Chris Smith provided the
resources and guidance I needed, as well as the freedom to make this work
completely my own. Of all the friends whose patient listening skills or creative
contributions were an aid to the completion of this thesis, it seems that thanks are
especially due to Dan Fitzstephens, whose grammar guidance and helpful insight
into the professorial mind were invaluable.
A special thanks goes to my sister Courtney for her help in keeping me on
task and her praise when the work was finally done. Finally, I need to offer heartfelt
thanks to my parents for not preaching "tolerance" of homosexuality, but rather
teaching intolerance of ignorance in whatever form it exists.
Lesbian Literature
Course Objectives:
The colloquium will survey twentieth century American fictional works written by and
about Lesbians. The focus of study will be on Lesbian cultures and perspectives as they are
presented in the readings. Moving chronologically through the century, the works include both
mainstream classics and lesser-known pieces of literature in order to demonstrate fully the
changes which have occured in the Lesbian community, as reflected in a rich and varied literary
tradition. Students will be encouraged to examine issues -- historical and current, personal and
public -- which Lesbians have had to face. The reading and writing assignments will foster
critical inquiry and deepen understanding of the literature while broadening the perspectives
from which students view Lesbians and Lesbianism.

Proiect Guidelines
Students will be required to complete a project worth 100 points. That's half of the
final grade, so the project should reflect serious research or creative thought (hopefully
a little of both). Students may go the more traditional academic route by writing papers
or reviews, or they may experiment with innovative project ideas. Creative projects
must be accompanied by a 3 page (typed) explanation of their work. Papers should be
a minimum of 8 typed, double-spaced pages.
Project suggestions:
- Write a paper on one of the authors studied and present it to the class.
- Read and review a novel, play, or collection of poems written by a Lesbian in
this century. Author must be American.
- Write your own play (may be one-act), poems, or short story which focuses on
a theme or piece of work studied in class.
- Compile an annotated bibliography of at least 15 works by twentieth-century
Lesbian authors.
- Collect several reviews of (or, possibly, introductions to) one of the works from
the first half of the century and compare what was said about the subjects
dealt with when it was first written as opposed to more recent discussion.
- Write a journal which is written from the perspective of one of the characters in
the readings.
- Paint, draw, or otherwise visually recreate a scene from one of the readings.
- Be creative!!
