SWAG 414 - Seminar on Iranian Women Writers

Since the mid nineteenth-century, Iranian women writers have desegregated a predominantly all-male literary tradition. They have also been at the forefront of a bloodless social movement. At home and in Diaspora, they have produced highly-acclaimed bestsellers, touching the hearts and minds of an international reading public on an unprecedented scale. This seminar studies this inspiring presence on the world state through a variety of genre that includes novels, short story, poetry, autobiographies, essays, film-scripts, and films. (O)
