Graduate Seminar in US Women's History to 1877

Catalog description

This course provides a historical overview of women's roles and constructions of gender in U.S. history beginning in early North America to 1877. It provides an understanding of essential concepts and methods of feminist inquiry, as well as a broad range of gender issues concentrating on how women of different ethnicities, regions, classes, and ages experienced and shaped their daily lives under the constraints of a given era. More intense study, additional assignments, and higher expectations than the undergraduate course.
