AS 3462 - History of Women in the U.S.

Credits: 4
This course surveys women’s experience from 1620 to the present. The course analyzes women’s connection to key aspects of American history such as the American Revolution, slavery and the 20th century development of the welfare state. This course posits women as agents of change in American history, but the course also examines how the study of women over time raises questions about traditional chronologies of American history. Students will be introduced to well-known and little known women and their individual and collective attempts to reshape American society through examination of diaries, autobiographies, fiction, government hearings and film.
