FR 423 Francophone Feminisms

This course serves as an introduction to movements and theories of feminism in France and the French-speaking world, and is intended to be taken following at least one 300-level course. Students learn about the history and theories of feminism that emerged in the French language from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. Course readings will include a range of literary, cultural, and theoretical texts; class discussions and lectures will focus on understandings of feminisms (First, Second, and Third Waves, as well as forms of proto-feminism before the Revolution) and of the female condition in France. This class is taught in French.
