Course Objective |
This course aims to introduce the genre of autobiography and its historical development and to discuss with students the necessary methods and terms to analyze it. The main activity of the course is to examine the main characteristics of women autobiographers and to analyze the works of important women autobiographers. The fact that writing autobiography, which is defined as an adventure of the mind, is considered to be a man's work and that the name of this course is a defiance. In addition, the focus will be on how women's autobiography differs from men's autobiography. |
