(SOC4036)

There are many ways to examine the history of the United States— this course will put women at the center of the story. The course traces a number of different interrelated themes from the 19th century to the present.  The course will consider which ideas and assumptions within American culture have changed and which have stayed the same.  Students will gain an understanding of significant events in modern women’s lives, the ways in which gender is and has been constructed, and the major interpretive issues shaping women’s history.
