Resumen de la ponencia
The lecture will introduce students to Canadian women writers in English. After discussing certain aspects of Canadian history and analyzing factors that have contributed to women writers' visibility in the Canadian literary scene, selected writers, particularly from the late 20th century, will be examined, including those who record the lives of the white women settler society, address the migrant experiences in Canada as well as the concerns of various ethnic groups, and comment on the cultural genocide of Canada’s First Nations. Among others, such authors will include Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Chava Rosenfarb, Joy Kogawa, Ann-Marie McDonald and Eva Stachniak.
