Finally! Instructor's Book Review!!! (docx)
I've been promising for a while to write in response to my own assignments, which isn't an easy thing to do, and for a few reasons. One reason? I'm long-winded. Here's a review of a Camille Claudel biography. Claudel was a French sculptor born at the wrong time. With this essay, I want to show students that I can practice what I preach. Also, I'd like to spread the word about Claudel and infuse a little needed feminism into Michigan consciousness. Enjoy! Let me know what you think! GMF
