Following their immigration from France to New France, Canada, and across the border into the United States, through reading of literature and discussion, the class participants will become informed of the historical and cultural implications for the women immigrants and the definition they imparted to the culture through their contributions from the 1600s to the present. These women braved the new worlds of the wilderness, farmlands and the industrial settings to help establish the French culture as we know it today on the North American continent. In addition to the readings, this course will use film, slide presentations, guest lecturers, and music to examine the artifacts, crafts, rituals, folklore and more of the daily lives of the women following their ocean and border crossing as the route to discovering the meaning of their lives.
