HST 205 — United States Women's History
This course focuses on the experiences of women, their various roles and statuses, as well as the changing ideas about women and gender from the Colonial period, through the Revolution and Early Republic to the present day. A major emphasis of this course will be an examination of the various efforts of women to define themselves intersectionally, and critique the social and political mores that have impacted their lives and opportunities due to gendered hierarchies shaped by changing attitudes and understandings of race, class, and religion over time.
