If You Were Teaching...

a one semester 2nd year college course in "Women's Lit," what novel would you teach???

I'm thinking about Jane Eyre, but would welcome other suggestions, just NOT The Handmaid's Tale, please.

ETA and not Mrs Dalloway, much as I love it, because I teach it in my 20th century lit course that some of my students in this upcoming course might have taken. And lidocafe teaches it in hers, so the same argument applies.

That sounds wonderful. I shall certainly look for it and read it - maybe food for next year... And I agree about The Golden Notebook - I think it's a bit dated now, though still important canonically. I didn't really enjoy it much when I read it for my comps, so I probably wouldn't want to teach it.
