I have an instructor looking for a textbook on Women's literature. We've found a couple of options through searching the usual places:


I'm wondering what else we might be overlooking in terms of a college textbook? The course description:
This course introduces students to literary masterpieces written by female writers. By juxtaposing traditional and non-traditional roles for women, students discover how stereotypical images may be transcended. Students will read short fiction, poetry, and drama by a wide variety of writers to develop an understanding of the diversity within each of the literary genres and the multi-dimensional nature of women's selfhood through the ages.
I found an earlier request on the listserv asking about an anthology of literature by women and there were some good suggestions in that thread about sources of original works. That's a secondary search my faculty will also be engaging with - so if any new suggestions are out there for an anthology, I'd be excited to hear about it.
