Inseparable: Desire Between Women in Literature
Inseparable: Desire Between Women in Literature
Emma Donoghue examines how desire between women in English literature has been described, from schoolgirls and vampires to runaway wives, from cross-dressing knights to contemporary murder tales. She looks at the work of those writers who have addressed the “unspeakable subject,” examining whether same-sex desire is freakish or omnipresent, holy or evil, as she excavates a long-obscured tradition of (inseparable) friendship between women, one that is surprisingly central to our cultural histor

Help with poems for my book?
Question by Alex: Help with poems for my book?
Okay, so I”m writing this book and I was going to have a poem before each chapter but… my poetry is horrible. Each poem was going to be about the general theme of the chapter (it’s this contest I’m doing with my friend. We’re writing books with each chapter having a different theme and who does it better 
) Okay, so here are the themes:
Betrayal
Supernatural Adversaries
The Quest
Faithful Friend
Apparent Death
The Like Triangle
The Wild Woman
Paradise
Temptation
Huge Brother is Watching
Separation
Reunion
The Miracle
The Search for Identity
Justice for All
So… that’s it. It would be a HUGE help if anyone could help me knock a couple of these out. And if you’re ever bored one day, this is a fantastic exercise for writers. Google “motifs in literature” and piece them together in whatever order you want and then write about it.

Answer by JohnnyBoy
Betrayal:
“Her penultimate sighs
Called softly on the kindling winds
Her saintly eyes, filling with tears, lifting with truth
And then a golden flash like the onset of Heaven
Leaving her screams, Breaking my heart
And in the grip of fire
I knew the death of like”

THE DOLLMAKER – 1984 – JANE FONDA – TRAILER
Jane Fonda gives an Emmy-winning performance as Gertie Nevels, a pioneer woman and the mother of five from the Kentucky hills who is forced to uproot her children to follow her husband Clovis (Levon Helm) to Detroit when he finds work during World War II. One setback follows another and shattering tragedy strikes the family. It’s all up to Gertie to find new strength, courage and determination to keep her family together and strong. In the opening scene of The Dollmaker a rough-hewn, uneducated woman performs a tracheotomy on her dying son, guided only by her like for her child and rural common sense. Thus we are introduced to Gertie Nevells, one of the most incredible women in literature. Gertie is a powerful, compassionate woman, a wood sculptor, a mother who talks to her daughter’s imaginary playmates. Her one dream is to buy her own farm in the backwoods of the South and live there with her husband and children. But World War II intervenes, and as a excellent wife she must take her children and follow her husband to Detroit, where he has been place to work in a war factory. In the city, Gertie fights desperately to keep her family together and maintain their rural values, but it’s a hard fight and even her flowers seem to know it: “There was something frantic in their blooming, as if they knew that frost was near and then the bitter cold. They’d lived through all the heat and noise and stench of summertime, and now each widely opened flower was like a triumphant weep, ‘We will …

The Key to Doing Keyword Research
The Key to Doing Keyword Research
As any Search Engine Optimization expert will tell you, Keyword research is a amusing animal. The type of keyword research you do will vary, depending on what you’re using the keywords for. Article research, for example, will be much different than keyword searches done for web sites mostly because people are searching for different types of words depending on what they’re going after. Regardless of the type of search you’re doing though, there are some hard and quick rules when it comes to excellent keyword searches. Here are some tips that should help you know, define, and implement your own keyword searches:
1) Study the marketplace: Your market will tell you a lot about which keywords are well loved and which aren’t. The tools I describe later in this article shouldn’t replace your own research. Get to know your competition by studying their marketing materials, press releases and web sites. Often you’ll find hidden data in these places that will help you narrow down your own search. By “hidden data” I don’t mean data that is literally hidden like back-end text in web site development no one ever sees, what I mean by this is terminology that might not seem like a keyword or keyword string initially, but as you dig deeper you find that it’s in fact a well loved search term.
2) Keywords are just that: words. They can be single words or keyword strings. Either way you’ll want to find the perfect term for you. Don’t get hung up on finding the single perfect word, instead look for search terms or patterns.
3) Keywords won’t stay evergreen: As markets/readers change, so might your keywords. If you have a keyword or keyword string that’s been working well for you that’s fantastic, but when it stops producing results (i.e. hits to your web site, hits to your articles, or inquiries about your book) then you might be in need of a new set of words.
4) Research: If you’re stumped for how to research keywords and the marketing materials and press releases you’ve gathered aren’t helping, consider going onto some blogs in your particular market and see what you can dig up there. Look for phrases that are used over and over again. For example when women’s literature added a spicy, fun new genre, the term “chick lit” was used over and over and became not just the adopted name for the genre, but a keyword term as well.
5) Use keyword sites to augment your searches: Along with studying the marketplace you can also go online and use the websites recommended below to help you further your search. Many of these sites are free but if keywords are crucial to your campaign, you might want to reckon about finding a site you like and paying for their upgraded research.
6) Test, test, test. Once you have identified a keyword or string of keywords, test these words by making articles or press releases using these terms. You’ll be able to see quickly how well your words are working.
7) Use them everywhere: Once you have identified words that work for you, use them everywhere. As I clarified above you can use them in your articles, press releases, even on your web site. You can even use them in your social networking profile, on your page or as the name for your social networking page (this works especially well if you’re using Squidoo).

October 2, 2009 Interview with Professor Elizabeth Berlinger. As a graduate student in Humanities at the University of Chicago, Elizabeth Berlinger found herself reading a lot of poetry by women. It wasnt by design, she says. But when I realized this was happening, I started to look for patterns and common themes among the works I was studying. These days, Berlinger conveys her fascination with writing by women in English 353—Women in Literature—which she teaches as an adjunct lecturer in BMCCs English Department. There are different ways to organize a survey course like this—by theme or subject matter, for example, she says. I take a chronological approach, beginning with Sappho, the ancient Greek poet, and proceeding through medieval times, the Victorian era and the 20th Century to the present day. In that way, she says, were able to gain an historical perspective and see how each artist built on the work of those who came before her. A lot of ground to cover Every era has its stars—from Marie de France and Julia of Norwich, who provided insights into daily life in the Middle Ages, to 20th- and 21st-Century pioneers like Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath and Toni Morrison. Because we have to cover so much in a small time, I try to choose a variety of genres—poetry, memoirs and essays, and fiction as well as non-fiction, Berlinger says. The thought is to provide at least a taste of many historical periods, cultures and ethnic groups. Admittedly, some works, particularly the older …
Can you tell me a funny story?
Question by Michael B: Can you tell me a amusing tale?
I like right amusing tales. Can you tell me some (one by person, please). Best will get 10pt, of course. There is just one rule: no real names or personal data in your tales, please…we don’t want to hurt anyone.
And, in return, here’s one that happened recently to my friend, just to get thought what I’m looking for:
My friend is honestly known writer. He had troubles writing his last novel, couldn’t sleep for days and looked really dreadful. One of our friends invited him to his house in Florida, so he could relax and refresh a bit.
While there, my friend continued writing and it suited him…but he’s appearance didn’t improved, he looked as hangover-on-feats guy (and he doesn’t drink at all).
One day, acquittance, who heard he’s there, called him by phone to a garden party. Even he wrote nearly 24h before it, my friend agreed and went.
When he said hello to his acquittance, he got this:
“Oh my god, how long we didn’t see each other.” and then “I must say, you look very terrible…why you drink so much?”
Really stunned by this, my friend only mumbled something about not drinking and lot of work. It caused laughter.
“Oh, come on, have you seen yourself lately…you look like cats dragged you here. It’s not a shame, anyone can have a problem. You may want to seek some help…lady (referring my friend’s wife) could leave you for it, you know…”
By then, my friend couldn’t take it anymore, so he excused and left.
The other day, he heard the same man talking with a woman next doors.
“Sad, really…seams he’s turning drunkard. Drinks heavily lately, you know…did you seen him on my party yesterday? Poor fellow, like he didn’t know where he is. And I heard that causing disturbance at his home, too…seams wife will leave, for sure…”
Too stunned to react, my friend just stood there, until they gone.
Worst part of the tale: few days later, one “literature” (read gossip) magazine came out of print…on the third page, there was an article about my friend and how he’s drinking too much!!!
And how his wife LEFT him, took the children and so on…
Half mad from what he just read, my friend ran around the house, wondering what to do, should he sue or something, when he heard the phone ringing…picking up, he heard his wife’s voice.
“Honey, I heard I’m leaving and taking the children with me…”
She laughed…luckily, she understood it’s a foolish gossip.
In small, my friend finished his book, returned home, didn’t sue (his just not the type) and tried to forget all. Book was published, gain honest success, all was forgotten…my friend relaxed, slept well, ate well and soon, turned his ancient self back, even gained some weight.
Anyway, one day, year later, again on Florida, my friend walked from the store and bumped into somebody. To his surprise (and not delight), it was a man who made that horrible gossip. Before my friend could said anything, man started to shake his hand.
“How you being doing, I’m heard you left drinking!”-he said-”I’m so glad, you looked as a total wreck last time we seen each other! And you look so excellent now…you even gained some weight! What’s with that?”-
My friend looked him in the eyes, somewhere between laughter and rage and said:
“Well…I’m pregnant.”-

Rule 33: Education is a Life-Long Journey
Rule 33: Education is a Life-Long Journey
Katherine Watt is VP of Human Resources for a global hi-tech company in Silicon Valley and the proud mother of two gorgeous and smart young women.
At 18, I was off to college; choosing San Diego State because it was the farthest I could get from home and still be in California (and it had a beach). The following couple years would prove I was no match for the party lifestyle all around me. My “Poli Sci” major and “Econ” minor soon became a major in beach and a minor in boys. While it came as a shock to my poor parents, it was no huge surprise to me when I got the letter from school that I was out.
Quick forward eight years, an eternity to a 28 year ancient. I was a married, pregnant, bored Mom of a one year ancient in a track house in San Jose, CA. In an effort to find some intellectual stimulation, I went back to school. My one year ancient learned to walk in her babysitter’s dormitory while I was in class. She had more “friends” on campus than I did! My second baby was cooperatively born Thursday right after International Law and way before Tuesday’s Women in Literature. In three years I was back on track with a Bachelor’s degree.
I was on a roll. I chose to pursue an MBA. But facing a divorce and full-time work my MBA would be five years away! I would be an ancient 35 by then! When I landed my first administrative job, at .50 an hour, I figured I’d be working 40-hour weeks for a long time. I could continue at .50 an hour, or I could arm myself with the skills to command something more.
Being a single mom, working full time and going to school two nights a week took some juggling (to say the least). I quickly found that the advantages far outweighed the costs. By choosing class projects from my work environment, a first-hand application of the theories made the book stuff real while simultaneously impressing my bosses. I started to see my stock quickly rising in the workplace, and I truly loved what I was learning in the classroom.
I don’t want to downplay the finagling it took to make the arrangements for childcare, and the impact going to school had on my young daughters. But there were some surprising by-products of this process that surpassed my own goal. MBA programs require a significant amount of group work. When my classmates determined we should meet on Saturdays it was always an annoyance. My children and I would trudge to the school and find the right classroom. Huge box of chalk in hand, my daughters would find an empty room and make murals on the chalkboards while I did my meeting thing. The girls spent many pleased hours on campus. In their young realities, they went to school when Mom went to school. It was what people do. My daughters became life-long learners.
Today my oldest daughter is working on her PhD. Her sister earned her Bachelor’s and is considering going to Graduate School. Both girls study things that are just “out there and fascinating.” The oldest has mastered Spanish and German and the youngest French and Italian.
You may be five or even eight years older at the end of the process. But you will be five or eight years older anyway. Will that time find you with or without those academic credentials? At times you might wonder if there is a light at the end of the tunnel or just another train. If you keep at it, you will find, as with many things in life, the joy is in the journey. Not the destination.

Why do people always think it wrong when a child wishes to move out at age seventeen?
Question by Randall R: Why do people always reckon it incorrect when a child wishes to go out at age seventeen?
To many times, you find many “responsible adults” who complain about children wishing to leave home at the age of seventeen. These “responsible adults” then go into reasoning’s why it’s terrible for children to go out at seventeen.
Then they turn around to say when that child is eighteen, they can go out and do whatever they wish.
How much does one mature from seventeen to eighteen?
I was looking at an ancient petition of the “Missouri 17 Law” when I read this incredible piece of literature,
“if you are going to the word law to discribe what i read here start cussing. after seeing the news about a baby being left in a car by doctors and dieing. some moron total dip wants to impose more laws and fines on them. knowing that they are responseable parents they have patients waiting and a job to do. they probably stayed up all night after a long day with the baby accidents happen and i’m sure no one feels worse than they do. we don’t need any more laws, we need compasion and common sense .when kids turn a certain age and they reckon they can run over you and your life and that three letter cuss word comes up. thats just obserd. we have people diening in a a war, and we give billions to other countries who despise our everloving guts. why don’t we spend some of our dollars doing whats right. like for instants . if a kid thinks they are all that place them ina work camp for free ya know government paid by us boot camp, millitary, something besides passing the buck on people who are tring to be responseable and right. screwing them over and all the childeren to follow allowing our next generation to be freeloading idiots who can’t fin for themselves. we are raising a generation of low life with no common sense or intelligents because the law sucks. if kids run away they should be on there own, they made the choice. they should have to live with it no matter what happens. because with out no consequenses neither the law or parents have any athority. you just exist like a door matt. all children who run away should be returned to face the music the parents shouldn’t be punished for making the kid go to school and be clean and responseable. harboring a runaway should have penalty. but if you want to keep a runaway you should accept and be liable for the kid. and all it’s many problems that go with it. if your going to let a teen age kid go in and screw your daughter you should be responseable not anyone else. my wifes boy chose to quit school do drugs,steal, lie,and start a smoking habit. the woman who owns the girl he now has sex with since he was 15. buys him and all the other kids in the house cigarettes. and now since his sister seen that she chose she would rather live ina dumpy trailer with 3or 4 other kids that clean her room or help arround the house opened the window and took her makeup and she now r esides ther too , the woman can’t afford all the kids show she want’s us to give up custody, now what kinda crap is that,. 17 law —- word.”

Now for my take on this: It doesn’t say how ancient this adult is. But they are ancient enough to worry about their seventeen year ancient moving out.
Now, if this was my parent, I would be utterly ashamed. This happens to be one of the “responsible adults” who complain about the ability of a child to go out at seventeen. Now, if this person wants their children to listen to how they are irresponsible and need to stay in their home with their parent, maybe the parents should have stayed in school longer than their sophomore year.
I see this time and time again in which a parent who says their child is irresponsible cannot spell “irresponsible”.
These adults say that this new generation is “out of control”, reckon about who raised this new generation.
You hear parents say, “If I would have spoken to my mother like you speak to me, I would have had my face slapped.”
Well, dear parents, learn to discipline your children. Taking away their cellphone or computer isn’t going to do it.
So my question to all of you is: Why is it that children are so often criticized when they wish to go out at the age of seventeen when a large majority of them have a stronger mental capacity than their parents do?
Best answer:
Answer by From First to Last’s Emily.
Because they are children, or young adults just starting out.
Even though they may have a stronger mental capacity, they might not have the stronger pay check.
Maybe it’s not that they have the stronger mental capacity, but a different way of seeing or looking at things, a different approach at solving problems.
The second answer is also right,

Why do you think most mothers choose formula over breast milk?
Question by Mrs. H: Why do you reckon most mothers choose formula over breast milk?
I was doing some research into breastfeeding and stumbled upon this:
“In 1994, after years of stalling by Republican administrations that opposed it, the United States joined every other developed nation in the world as a signatory to the “WHO Code,” an international agreement that, among other things, calls for an end to formula promotion and giveaways through the health-care system and includes a clause stating that “no financial or material inducements should be offered by [infant formula] manufacturers or distributors to health workers, or members of their families, nor should these be accepted.” Despite the WHO Code, virtually all hospitals in the United States offering maternity services — as well as the majority of individual obstetricians and pediatricians — continue to provide massive free advertising from the huge pharmaceutical companies that produce and market formula in the United States. Such promotional material comes in the form of formula giveaways, patient “educational literature” produced by the formula companies and even free baby equipment such as diaper bags.”
The article went on to say:
“American hospitals have largely shrugged off the thought that accepting free formula and large cash “donations” in return for a particular formula company’s right to market directly to its patients represents an ethical problem. Around the world, thousands of hospitals have become certified by the World Health Organization as “Baby-Friendly” by agreeing to aggressively and accurately promote breast-feeding and to end the practice of allowing infant-formula companies to offer freebies to personnel or patients. In the United States, but, fewer than 20 hospitals and birthing centers have received the Baby-Friendly designation.”
Do you feel that the reason so many women opt to formula feed is because the formula companies have most hospitals and doctors in their pocket?
http://www.salon.com/life/feature/1999/07/20/formula2
The article is a small ancient, but I just want some opinions on it.
Another question: Did the hospital you delivered at offer to give you formula to go home with? What brand of formula did they offer?
Rae’s Momma: Don’t be so defensive. I didn’t say anything derogatory about formula feeding mommies. I was just wanting some opinions on that article.

Characterization of the literature: “As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner”?

Who is the most heroic character in this book?
According to these character descriptions? I am not quite sure because the book is hard for me.
Can anyone clear the characters up for me?
********following from Sparknotes
Addie Bundren
Though she is dead for most of the novel, Addie is one of its most vital characters, as her unorthodox wish to be buried near her blood relatives rather than with her own family is at the core of the tale. Addie, whose voice is expressed through Cora Tull’s memories and through her own brief section in the narrative, appears to be a strong-willed and intelligent woman haunted by a sense of disillusionment. Unable to bring herself to like the coarse, helpless Anse or the children she bears him, Addie sees marital like and motherhood as empty concepts, words that exist solely to fill voids in people’s lives. After she bears a second child to Anse, Addie first expresses her wish to be buried far away, stating her belief that “the reason for living [is] to get ready to stay dead a long time.” The small value she does find in life, from her brief affair with Whitfield and her like for her son Jewel, ends on a morbid note. Jewel treats Addie harshly while she is alive, and only once she is dead does he “save [her] from the water and from the fire,” as she always believed he would. Addie invests her life and energy in a like that finds repayment and comes to fruition only after she is dead.
As a corpse, Addie is equally vital to the novel, hindering and dividing her family as much as when she is alive. Many of the incidents after Addie’s death reflect this feeling that some part of Addie is still living. Vardaman drills holes in the coffin so that the dead Addie might have air to breathe, and when Darl and Vardaman listen to the noises of the decomposing body, Darl claims that these sounds are Addie speaking. Even the stench of Addie’s corpse captivates a large audience of strangers. The notion that there is continuity between the articulate human voice of the living Addie and the putrid biological mass that is the dead Addie is among the most emotionally powerful thoughts presented in the novel.
Darl Bundren
Darl, who speaks in nineteen of the novel’s fifty-nine sections, is in many ways its most cerebral character. Darl’s knack for probing analysis and poetic descriptions mean that his voice becomes the closest thing the tale offers to a guiding, subjective narrator. Yet it is this same intellectual nature that prevents him from achieving either the flashy heroism of his brother Jewel or the self-sacrificing loyalty of his brother Cash. In fact, it prevents Darl from believing wholeheartedly in the family’s mission. Darl registers his objection to the entire burial outing by apparently abandoning his mother’s coffin during the botched river-crossing, and by setting fire to Gillespie’s barn with the eight-day-ancient corpse inside.
Another consequence of Darl’s philosophical nature is his alienation from the community around him. According to Cora Tull, people find Darl weird and unsettling. He is also able to know private things about the lives of the people around him, as he does when he guesses at Dewey Dell’s fling with Lafe or perceives that Anse is not Jewel’s real father. At times, Darl is nearly clairvoyant, as evidenced by the scene in which he is able to describe vividly the scene at his mother’s death, even though he and Jewel are far away from the scene when she dies. Other characters alienate Darl for dread that he will get too close to them and their secrets. It is perhaps this dread, more than Darl’s act of arson, that leads his family to have him committed to an insane asylum at the end of the novel—after all, Dewey Dell, who realizes that Darl knows her sordid secret, is the first to restrain him when the officers from the asylum arrive.
Jewel Bundren
Because Jewel speaks very few words of his own throughout the novel, he is defined by his actions, as filtered through the eyes of other characters. Jewel’s uncommunicative nature makes a fantastic distance between him and us, and a fantastic deal of room exists for debating the meaning of Jewel’s actions. Darl’s frequent descriptions of Jewel as “wooden” reinforce the image of Jewel as impenetrable to others, and also establish a relationship between Jewel and the wooden coffin that comes to symbolize his mother. Whether or not Jewel returns his mother’s devotion is also debatable—his behavior toward her while she is alive seems callous. Even as Addie lies on her deathbed, Jewel refuses to say excellent-bye to her, and harshly asserts his independence from her earlier on with his buy of a horse. Jewel’s actions after Addie’s death show, but, that Jewel does care deeply about her, as he makes fantastic sacrifices to assure the safe passage of her body to her chosen resting place, agreeing even to the sale of his beloved horse. Similarly, Jewel’s cold, rough-spoken beha
Best answer:
Answer by fionaa
That’s subjective, but I’d say Darl. When he tried to burn down the barn, his intentions were really completely honorable. He shows concern for his mother’s dignity even after her death while the others simply trample all over her memory.
Cash could also be one of them, as he makes a huge leap from industrial thought toward intellectualism, and he never shows any terrible feelings toward anyone. Some could even interpret him as a Christ figure, if you look at some of the details.
Everyone is kind of a victim of their environment, though, so you could argue that the book really doesn’t have a hero.
Excellent luck!

“How to Read Literature Like a Professor” Help!?
Question by Angela W: “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” Help!?
I have a bunch of questions I’m supposed to answer, but they all question for me to come up with examples from another book…and I’m not that familiar with literature. I don’t know what alludes to what, how something is supposed to be a hidden sex scene, etc ._. So if you could answer some of these, I would be really thankful (:
NOTE: I’m only putting up the questions I’m completely lost on.
Chapter 5: Discuss three examples of intellectuality that have helped you in reading specific works
Chapter 6: Discuss a work that you are familiar with that alludes to or reflects Shakespeare. Show how the author uses this connection thematically. Read pages 44-46 carefully. In your discussion, focus on theme.
Chapter 7: Read “Araby” (available online). Discuss Biblical allusions that Foster does not mention. Look at the example of the “two fantastic jars.” Be creative and imaginative in these connections
Chapter 8: Reckon of a work of literature that reflects a fairy tale. Discuss the parallels. Does it make irony or deepen appreciation?
Chapter 10: Discuss the importance of weather in a specific literary work, not in terms of plot. (<- I don't get what she means by "not in terms of plot")
Chapter 13: Assume that Foster is right and "its all political." Use his criteria to show that one of the major works assigned to you prior this summer. (So that means The Crucible and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest are out. I was going to use The Crucible but... :\)
Chapter 16 and 17: Choose a novel or movie in which sex is suggested, but not described, and discuss how the relationship is suggested and how this implication affects the theme or develops characterization.
Chapter 22, 23, 24: Recall two characters who died of a disease in a literary work. Consider how these deaths reflect the "principles governing the use of disease in literature" (215-217). Discuss the effectiveness of the death as related to plot, theme, or symbolism. (I was thinking of Beth(?) from Small Women. I need one more)
Chapter 26: Select an iron literary work and clarify the multi-vocal nature of the irony in the work.
Envoi: Choose a motif not discussed in this book and note its appearance in three or four different works. What does this thought seem to signify? (I was thinking of fire in Fahrenheit 451, but I need two more instances of it in other works)
Thank you! (:
Best answer:
Answer by Michael
Chapter 10: She means how the weather in a scene or tale reflects, affects, or contrasts the mood or tone of the piece or of the characters in it. A lot of the time the weather is a harbinger of future events. Reckon Shakespeare– King Lear, or even better, the Tempest (but that may be too on the nose.)
Chapter 13: First of all, read the criteria. “It’s all political” means just that. The books you mentioned are overtly political– choose something that doesn’t seem political and figure out how it is political. If that’s too hard then try Huckleberry Finn or The Scarlet Letter. Those are simple to read as political. What were the books assigned? I’m sure if you list those that you read someone would help you.
Chapter 16,17: That’s simple. The rape scene in A Streetcar named Desire is never really shown and it’s an simple movie/script to get ahold of. I’m sure that’s what the question is alluding to.
Chapter 26: It sounds like you’re in high school. How about the ironic tone of Holden Caufield in The Catcher in the Rye?

When it is simply nothing but words repeated over and over again, and more fallen on how edward looks? The book has the same plot over and over, and, It’s based on “Stephenie Meyers” wet dream. Plus a lead female in the book that bitches and complains is not what a call “Fine literature”
So why do people fall for this..Less intellectual stimulating book, and not for something that will really build up their intellect?

Question by kandykane_child: Can anyone give me the names of some small Women’s Fiction/Literature novels?
Ok, so I’m doing an essay for my English class, analyzing any user review on Amazon.com posted under the category “Women’s Literature”. I didn’t find out until today that I really have to READ that novel. The essay is due in a few days, so I need a small novel to read, and preferably one that is honestly well-known (there will be more reviews for it, I’d assume).
Any help would be more than appreciated!

A Barnard College Global Symposium – Women in the Arab World
Barnard College and President Debora Spar were honored to host the second annual Barnard College Global Symposium in the United Arab Emirates, to showcase the incredible work being done by preeminent women throughout the Arab world. On Monday, March 15, 2010, Barnard presented a dialogue on womens leadership, womens agency and womens voices: Women in the Arab World. We started the afternoon with a luncheon during which our distinguished guest, Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi, delivered the keynote address. Sheikha Lubna is the UAEs Minister of Foreign Trade and the first woman in her country to hold a cabinet post. The afternoon included two panels: Voices of the Region, which focused on women in literature and film; and Conversations on Leadership, which examined the changing face of womens leadership across the Arab world. Given that Barnard is also home to the Athena Center for Leadership Studies, which explores leadership from the distinct perspective of the liberal arts, we were especially interested in hearing about the experiences of successful women worldwide. A reception concluded the days events. For more information visit: web.barnard.columbia.edu
