HIST 320 - History of American Women

3 Credit(s)

This course examines the role of women in American History with special emphasis on how the story of women is told by historians over time. It examines not only the lives of many famous white women, but also the experience of women from various ethnicities and economic backgrounds. In addressing how Americans construct their understanding of women’s lives in the U.S., the course will also reassess how focusing on women’s lives might alter one’s understanding of the broader patterns and interpretations of American History.
