  • Discuss this quote from Joelle Hodge from the introduction of this course, “We cannot be content to exclude the women who fostered and sustained the communities which produced the men and works we’ve come to prize. When we do this, we thin the contextual realities and leave holes in the rich tapestry that help shape the lives and works of the contributors we have already recovered, both men and women.  We must guard against allowing the dark amnesia of obscurity to rob us of the collective memory, which is ours, and from which our schools and students would benefit. Without a more complete knowledge of our past, we all suffer from a distorted picture of the tradition and pass that on to our students.”
  • Discuss the reasons for the presentation of this course.  How is it formative for girls and boys to be encouraged by thoughtful, intelligent, articulate women who have been integral to the tradition.
  • Which women’s voices will you add to your student’s classical curricula as a result of taking this course on Women in the Liberal Arts Tradition?
