WMNST 106: Representing Women and Gender in Literature, Art and Popular Cultures is offered by the Department of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. It is an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of WGSS, with an emphasis on the experiences, achievements, and status of women in the arts and humanities in the U.S. and global context. While providing a broad overview of scholarly research and theory pertaining to women and gender, students will also see many examples of contemporary women's creative practice through the visual arts, media, and popular culture. 

This guide presents students with a selection of relevant collections and materials found in the Eberly Family Special Collections. This includes letters and private writing of women writers, published texts written by women and queer individuals, and visual sources related to gender and/or race.
