Women and Gender in U.S. History

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

Placing women's experiences at the centre of analysis, our understanding of American history is enriched, deepened, and oftentimes challenged. Paying attention to differences along race, class, and other lines, this course considers how women have been excluded from the promises of the "American Dream," how they nonetheless participated in and shaped American society and politics, and how they mobilized for equal rights and power. The course also introduces students to key concepts in gender history.
