U.S. Women's History

Catalog description

This course presents students with current scholarship and contemporary debates in the field of United States women’s history, with emphasis on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The course format includes lectures, readings, discussions, and videos, and will require multiple writing assignments. Our goal is to answer two questions: “Who are [some of] the women [and events] who are usually overlooked in our study of U.S. history?” and “What does U.S. history look like when women and their experiences are central, rather than peripheral, to our consideration of the past?”.
