HIST 325 - History of American WomenCredits: 3
The social, political, and economic roles and changing status of women in America. This course will examine how social constructions of gender, race, and class have shaped women’s lives in the U.S. from the 1600s to the present, and how some women have pushed at the boundaries of those constructions through, for example, changing patterns of public/private sphere, work, leisure, and education; through political activism, involvement in a varietyof social movements; and popular culture. We will emphasize the diversity of women’s historical experiences by region as well as by social category, and will situate those experiences in the larger contexts of social, economic, and political change on local, national, and even global levels.
