Edge Hill University are offering an MA in Women's Writing: 1500 to the Present Day. This course provides a unique, exciting, interdisciplinary opportunity to trace the development of women's writing across five centuries of social, political and literary change. A two year part-time course, it focuses on every genre of women’s writing from the poetry of the Renaissance to twenty-first century autobiography. Using contemporary gender and feminist theory as a methodological framework, students explore where, why and how the female voice has changed and where it has stayed the same. In this way the roots of modern day women’s intellectual expression of love, lust, need, shame, anger and dispossession are made powerfully visible.
