Course Description
This course surveys the experiences, contributions, and roles of women in the history of the United States from Reconstruction to the present. Through the analytical lenses of race, class, gender, ethnicity and sexuality, students examine the major forces that shaped, and continue to shape, the political, social, cultural, scientific, technological and environmental life of the nation. Specific attention is dedicated to examining the ways that the philosophical foundations of the U.S. Constitution and the government institutions it established impacted women’s lives.
