Essays on Women and Surrealism (2008):

Listed below are a series of essays I wrote for a recent graduate course I took at University of Texas - Pan American called Women and Surrealism. I found the topic to be greatly fascinating and though I learned a great deal, I became aware of how much I yet do not know about women Surrealists. I put so much effort into this project, writing 11 papers in all over the course of a semester, that I thought it a shame to put them away, never to be read again, so I am posting them here.
