WGST 4153 - Virginity: Power, Politics, and Pleasure


Examines female virginity from an interdisciplinary perspective - all challenging and re-theorizing our modern conceptions of virginity. Course texts and discussion explore the history, myths, biology, politics, and personal definitions of female virginity and first-time sex across identities of gender, race, sexual orientation, age, and more.   A key question considered by the course: why is the initiation into female heterosexuality defined as a “loss” and what has been the consequence?
