Gender Lens

Analyze a work of literature from the perspective of gender, exploring roles, stereotypes, or biases.

Literature is a reflection of society, and this prompt encourages you to examine a work for its treatment of gender. You may wish to discuss whether or not you believe the author presented gender roles responsibly, or perhaps consider whether or not the story was influenced by gender stereotypes or biases. This encourages sociological understanding, textual analysis, and the formulation and expression of personal opinions.
