Introduction - Ashley Enekes

My name is Ashley and I am a senior, public relations major and multi-ethnic studies minor. I am from Corinth, NY, which is a small town in the Adirondack's, next to Saratoga Springs. I am the public relations intern in the International Education Center here on campus, the President of SUNY Fredonia's chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America, the public relations chair for Student Association, and the Vice President of New Member Education for the Sigma Kappa sorority here on campus. I am finished with my major and needed credits outside of my major and I thought this class sounded interesting. My knowledge of women studies is limited so I look forward to the discussions in class, and to hear the view points of people who are in that major. The one quote that stood out to me most was addressing "the issue of what it means for a women to be so bold as to write in a man's literary world", which was said when describing the first section of the anthology. I have never thought of the literary world to be that of a mans, and I believe that this statement shows how blind I have been to the unequal balance of both genders throughout literary history.
