Graduate Seminar in US Women's History since 1877

Catalog description

This course provides a historical overview of women’s roles and constructions of gender in U.S. history from the late nineteenth century through the present, shares an understanding of essential concepts and methods of feminist inquiry, and explores 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.
