Construction of gender?

My suggestion for the class is Orwell's 1984 because it would allow us to look into how gender roles are prescribed onto us by society. I also love that book and would love to re-read it with feminism in mind.

I don't have in mind one particular place I'd like the class to go to next. The class has already significantly stretched the pool of what could be considered a feminist topic that I have trouble thinking of something new. I feel like we could read just about any text and find something interesting in it as related to feminism (taste, anyone?). So my vote is to pick something provocative and enjoyable, and see where it takes us.
