HIST 072 SC - History of Women in the United States

This course will explore the changing experiences of women in the 19th and 20th centuries with an emphasis on how racial, ethnic, and class differences affected women's lives and histories. Is it possible or even useful to talk about "women" as a group? Part of our task will be to explore the continuities of and variations in the lives of women in the face of rapid social and economic change. Topics we will consider include work and livelihood, sexuality, politics, and feminisms.
