Female author is good or bad?

Submitted by Jackie Marano on Mon, 04/20/2009 - 9:51am.
      I actually was thinking a little about this myself. For example, I don't think it's reasonable to assume that all male authors would write one way, and all female authors would write another...but did we complicate things by switching to a female author after having our class evolve around the evolution of works by male authors? I don't think it ruins trends or ideas that we've been thinking about, in fact it probably enhances them. But I think it must influence the path of our discussion in some way (since the gender of the author was an important factor in the choosing of the work). And if it originally didn't...now I think it will. As a class, are we disappointed or pleased that we have ended our readings with an american female author because it had to be that way (for the sake of the course)?
