Love, Honour, and Obey: Marriage and Gender

Undergraduate

Romantic heterosexual love shapes contemporary notions of marriage for both straight and gay women. But marriage is about much more than love. It shapes women’s lives and organizes relations between women and men. This course examines the interpersonal, economic, social, cultural, and legal aspects of marriage past and present, primarily in North America. (Also offered as History HIST-3340.) (Prerequisite: One Women's and Gender Studies course or HIST-2510 or permission of the instructor.)
