The 19th and 20th centuries in American Literature marked the emergence of a strong group of women writers. As women's rights were put into law, women's experiences were put into words. As students of the 21st century, it is important for girls to understand the foundations of their education, and recognize the women on whose shoulders they stand. By providing our girls with access to a diversity of women's literature, from Ng to Angelou, Bechdel to Wharton, students will explore multicultural perspectives of what it means to be a women in America. These books represent perspectives ranging from Edith Wharton's early 20th century women's depicting the emerging rights of women, Angelou's depiction of the African American experience in her memoir "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," Bechdel's visual memoir of growing up gay in America, to Celeste Ng's contemporary look at a Chinese immigrant family in the midwest. Through these texts, our girls will not only see their own experiences represented, but be able to bridge the gap with experiences they cannot imagine.
