Weren't most of the writers back then white men due to discrimination in those days? So most classics are like that. We could study some random Japanese classic by a female writer like 枕草子 but it seems like it'd suit history students more than the general masses.

Classics are classics because of they were there first, because of the historical and cultural value (by that I mean that those books influenced people at the time they were published) or because they show us human nature and teach us something about ourselves. So I don't see how we can incorporate female non white writers there.

I can do with more Harry Potter in Lit.

Sure, but we don't study "most" of the books from history, we choose a select few. No reason why those all have to be white guys. (And also Sei Shonagon is relevant any time!)

ayrt
I feel like there's just not enough female writers at the relevant time periods. I can recall the Bronte sisters and George Sand, and that's it.

She's awesome!
