The American Experience: Changing Roles of Women

Catalog description

This Learning Community examines just how much really changed in American women's lives from the colonial period to the present. Materials and projects will include an exploration of opportunities in the labor market; biography, autobiography, and memoir; and the diverse experience of women of different races, regions and/or socio-economic classes. Integrating literary and historical approaches, students will create their own analyses of the continuities and contrasts in the experiences of American women over time.
