I can think of several other novels that we might have read for that class or that might have been for one of the other classes I took in the same room. :)Lisa Ecksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469107523441985396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010942979784569627.post-4524172373355179062011-11-04T06:12:47.065-07:002011-11-04T06:12:47.065-07:00I saw a goofy play about Aphra Behn (female restor...I saw a goofy play about Aphra Behn (female restoration playwright) the other day, which had a gratuitous throwaway "room of my own" line... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010942979784569627.post-34797102215704689402011-11-03T22:26:10.485-07:002011-11-03T22:26:10.485-07:00Ah, Shakespeare's Sisters, that must have been...Ah, Shakespeare's Sisters, that must have been it! My recollection of reading the book for class was connected with a recollection that it was a class focused on female (or feminist?) authors, but I wasn't convinced I'd actually taken such a class until you said the course name. Thanks for remembering.<br /><br />I think my copy of the book might also have been my mom's. When I asked her about it the other day, she said she read it for book club long ago.Lisa Ecksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469107523441985396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010942979784569627.post-55881486262749545102011-11-03T15:28:14.684-07:002011-11-03T15:28:14.684-07:00Hm, I also read Wide Sargasso Sea in high school, ...Hm, I also read Wide Sargasso Sea in high school, though I kind of think it was on my own rather than for a class...but I'm not positive about that... It seems like the sort of thing that plausibly could have been on the syllabus for Shakespeare's Sisters (and didn't you take that with me? I feel like someone did...).<br /><br />I remember it was my mother's copy of the book. I don't think I still have it.<br /><br />(I had read Jane Eyre before reading it, but long enough before that I don't think I necessarily remembered the relevant details -- not that the relevant character gets any screen time to speak of in Jane Eyre.)<br /><br />And thus does memory become fuzzy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
