Topics to be covered include changing ideas about women and the changing nature of the family, sexuality, women’s political activity, and paid and unpaid work. The course also examines the way in which gender has combined with other social definitions—such as race, ethnicity and age—to shape the experiences of both men and women in U.S. history. Prerequisites: HIST 150 - United States History to 1865 or HIST 151 - United States History Since 1865 and ENG 111 - College Reading and Writing. Grade only.
