A Real Gem
It's been many, many years since my undergraduate days, but I remember my favorite class very well. It was a Women's Studies class, taught by the gifted and inspirational Sandra Dykstra at SDSU, that introduced me to wonderful, amazing writers that I wouldn't have learned about otherwise. True, I could have done very well without the inevitable "Rubyfruit Jungle," but all the other books were jewels. I treasured everything written by the incomparable Tillie Olsen, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Rebecca Harding Davis, Kate Chopin, Anzia Yezierskia, et al.
In those days, I was a young, single working mother of two children, going to school part time. I did not consider a Women's Studies major or minor, but this particular class was a real gem.
