9 a.m.

"Girls' Literature as Genre:  Canadian and American Girls' Coming-of-Age Stories"

Scholars have discussed girls' books and girls' literature critically for decades, yet relatively little work has been done on defining girls' literature as a distinct and unique genre of its own. Dawn Sardella-Ayres explores the ways that girls' books in America and Canada -- from Little Women to Anne of Green Gables and more -- can be defined, and how they are used to demonstrate the ways in which a certain kind of girl comes of age in fiction. What do the heroines of these "classic books for girls" reflect back to the world of their times, and to our world today?

Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome!
