Introduction to women writers

Hi my names Jackie Moran, Im from buffalo new york and am a sophomore this year at Fredonia. My majors exercise science, but im really excited about some of my courses outside of my major this year! Last semester I took novels and tales and i really enjoyed how different the class was structured from my other classes.So im excited that this class will have alot of reading and writing as well. Today in class we began to discuss why women writers have such a significant role in society today. It was crazy to discover that only 8% of the reading material in the 1970s was written by women. I liked that someone in class today pointed out how much courage it took for women to write, it was perceived as "dangerous". While today its not as big of a deal.
