Introduction

Hello my name is Katie Bogold! I am from Hamburg which is about 40 minutes from campus, which isn't too far but just enough time to be away from home. I am a sophomore at Fredonia, and I am an Adolescent English Education major. I decided to take this class because my advisor recommended it to me, and I also thought that it would be an interesting and different topic for me to get involved with. My goal was to get a great deal of different perspectives on a variety of topics and I think that this coarse is going to help me with doing that.       
       The quote that I found most interesting, or that caught my eye was, "One distinctive strategy that allows many women writers to find their own voices is their invocation of a female muse, an actual or imagined source of creative inspiration to who they pay homage." (10). I like this quote or phrase because it shows where a collection of women in the world get their inspiration to write from. Also, I think that it is important for each and writer to find their own voice and what they care about to help seek them to place a message across to an audience, and I feel that this quote explains that perfectly.
