I started my research process using the Hunter Library Database, clicking on subjects, selecting English and I went straight to JSTOR. I also used Google Scholar. I started it with the keywords “Faulkner AND women” (I used the strategy “AND” as Jennifer Newman suggested and it was very helpful).  About 22,000 results came up, so to reduce it, I used the filters journals, language, and literature, publication date. Looking at the journal articles became easier when I applied the filters because obviously, it was more of what I am looking for. I started reading the articles that I am selecting for my research project and rejecting the ones that did not convince me. In the sources I found so far, there are comparisons or mentions about Faulkner’s women: Caddy, Miss Quentin, Addie, Dewey Dell, and Lena, which are the women I am interested in researching for my topic. Even though I would like to focus on only one or two novels, The Sound and The Fury and/or As I Lay Dying.
