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 experiences of women from various ethnicities and economic backgrounds. In addressing how Americans construct their understanding of womens lives in the U.S., this course will also reassess how focusing on womens lives might alter ones understanding of the broader patterns and interpretations of American history.
