Women Warriors and Heroic Mothers: Women and War in East Asia

0.5 credits · Undergraduate

Examines women's wartime and postwar lives in China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. While concerned with wars' brutal impacts, it also considers women's agency. The course explores how the intersections of gender, sexuality, race, and class shaped women's wartime experiences and interrogates how assumptions of gender shaped war and vice versa.
