How to choose texts for A-Level coursework?

I know choosing texts for your coursework can be daunting, as for many students this will be your first time picking a text rather than responding to one pre-set by your teachers. The easiest way to go about doing this is to think about the kind of texts that work well together but also give you enough difference to build an argument off of. You could think about the topics you are interested in and try to figure out a broad topic or area. Say you are an avid feminist, you may want to choose two texts by women from a period of particular difficulty for women. Who was writing around the women's suffrage movement, for example? Or during the World Wars when women were running large areas of industry? You could also use contradictory texts, like a feminist writer from the 20th/21st century and a feminist writer from the 19th or 18th, or even a misogynistic writer from this period. Here you have fertile ground for argument; you have narrowed your search terms so it is not too difficult to draw things together but not so entirely similar that there is nothing to say except "they are the same".
