In my junior classes, & for some years now, there were more women than
men, but also the women tended to speak out more often than the men. In
senior courses, pretty well the same situation. Also in the creative
writing classes, where I arranged so that everyone had to speak out,
but where usually the women did so more thoroughly, more carefully,
more usefully.
My last grad class, on Experimental Poetry by Canadian Women, had only
women students, & after the first week or so, they talked to each other
& I just listened most of the time -- one of the best classes I ever
'taught'....
