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 [livejournal.com profile] lidocafe teaches it in hers, so the same argument applies.

An interesting one to do with Northanger Abbey, and influential on it although not a gothic as such, is Charlotte Lennox's The Female Quixote.

Yes, I have that on my "to read" list as well...
