“Around the World and Across Time:
How We Define Women Writers and How They Define Us”

Greenwood Library Atrium
Longwood University
Monday, April 19th through Friday, the 23rd

How have women writers’ differing experiences and cultures influenced their understanding of what it means to be a woman?  What are the benefits of considering women writers as a group, and what are the costs?  These questions and others animate the work of students from ENGL 362: Genders and Bodies, who have created poster presentations on the impact of influential woman authors like Margaret Atwood, Sylvia Plath, Sharon Creech, and Flannery O’Conner.   Find out how this important writing reflects gendered identities across cultures and times, from the 19^th century to today.  The posters will remain in the Atrium until Friday, March 23.
