This module is no longer active. Many thanks to all the former students who taught me so much as we grappled with the political and intellectual implications of turn-of-the-century women's writing and culture.

I have left some pages online as they may be of more general interest: welcome, key texts, and designing a simple web page from scratch.

In January 2003 I will offer a new Master's option course: 'Feminist Perspectives on Web Fiction'. Details

September 2002

I want the freedom to carve and chisel my own face, to staunch the bleeding with ashes, to fashion my own gods out of my entails. And if going home is denied me then I will have to stand and claim my space, making a new culture - una cultura mestiza - with my own lumber, my bricks and mortar and my feminist architecture. (Gloria Anzaldúa, Chicana writer)

Ada's method [...] was to weave daydreams into seemingly authentic calculations. (David Langley Moore, on Lady Lovelace, possibly the first computer programmer)
