Prepared for a summer institute on women's studies in the traditional curriculum, this three week syllabus is organized into three major sections: (1) "Women's Studies Challenges Myths about Women; (2) "Gender as a Tool of Analysis"; and (3) "Approach to Curriculum Change: The Intersection of Gender, Race, and Class." Morning and afternoon sessions included a variety of topics such as diversity and women's lives cross- culturally; biography and social history; sex and gender differences; women writers and feminist literary criticism; the meaning of curriculum transformation; the family and kin; images of "mother" in literature; women and work; women and power; curriculum revision; gender, race, class, and the shaping of self; women in a global perspective; women's health; teaching a women's novel; the feminization of poverty; approaches to course revision; and project evaluation. For each suggested reading, title, author, date, and publication information are given. Lunch activities included showing films, holding small group discussions by discipline, special presentations, and optional readings. (LH)
