Do your female characters have to be likeable to be interesting? Historically, male protagonists have been allowed to be deeply flawed on the page, making choices that may hurt others and/or be deemed irresponsible or selfish. But what about deeply flawed female protagonists? Why do we see less of them and how do we go about writing them? This class will use a blend of in class readings, exercises, and group discussion to advance student's ability to write female characters with depth and nuance who defy stereotypes.
