Kaelyn Sullivan- Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Kaelyn Sullivan and I am a senior, Communication Studies major. 

Women Writers interests me because most of my literature classes have focused on male authors. I hope to learn about the different themes in the authors’ writings and compare the similarities and differences to the male authors I have studied. I look forward to learning about the personal lives of these women and how it  affected their writing. It is hard for me to imagine a world where women were not encouraged to tell their stories.  I have a lot of respect for the challenges these women faced to voice their opinion and I know I can learn a lot from taking this class.  

“According to their journals and essays, they write to express deep feelings, send messages to others, create alternate worlds, make order of chaos, seek transcendence, celebrate themselves.” pg. 2

I enjoyed this quote from the first section of the Anthology because I feel it accurately describes what we will be discussing throughout the semester. I am excited for a fun and interesting class!
