DSW Episode 6: Epic Lit! Old Ass Plays! Replace Gilgamesh & Shakespeare with Murasaki Shikibu, Emily Wilson & Mary Zimmerman
Women write amazing shit today and they wrote amazing shit a long time ago and kids are missing out on these masterworks of literature and drama simply because misogyny and racism are the cornerstones of every public school English curriculum. Let Willz sit on the ‘Choice Books’ shelf for once so students can explore and love these women’s words and perspectives instead:
Murasaki Shikibu * Diary of Lady Murasaki Shikibu * The Tale of Genji
Mary Zimmerman * Metamorphosis
Emily Wilson * The Odyssey (Translation) -
DSW Episode 5: Replace William Golding with Octavia Butler, Shirley Jackson & Maya Angelou
Lord of the Flies is 200 pages of mediocre toxic masculinity, so how about we dump this thing for some better books that explore lateral themes, written by some far more talented and intelligent ladies that maybe include women characters portrayed as actual humans who exist? Let’s do this!
Octavia Butler * Kindred * Parable of the Sower * Parable of the Talents
Shirley Jackson * The Lottery * We Have Always Lived in the Castle
Maya Angelou * I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings * On the Pulse of Morning -
DSW Episode 4: Replace John Steinbeck with Toni Morrison, Louise Erdrich, Alice Walker, Willa Cather & Sanora Babb
I mean, a white man plagiarizing about how hard life is for white men in America is a real fresh perspective – so sure, canonize him and make kids read his crap over and over . . .or instead, let’s read these gorgeous (better) books about life in America written by incredible (better) women:
Toni Morrison * The Bluest Eye * Beloved * Song of Solomon
Louise Erdrich * Love Medicine * The Round House * Tracks * The Beet Queen * The Bingo Palace
Alice Walker * The Color Purple * Meridian * The Temple of My Familiar
