    Description
    This course offers a survey of U.S. women's history from 1865 to the present day, tracing and analyzing how women's place in U.S. society has changed over time. The course addresses the Constitution of the State of California; the nature and processes of California state and local governments; and the relationships between the U.S. government and California's state and local governments as they relate to women since 1865. The course examines major developments, themes, and institutions in U.S. society related to women, gender, and sexuality. Using an intersectional lens, the course focuses on women's experiences as they were shaped by race, racism, ethnicity, ethnocentrism, immigration, citizenship, class, gender identity, sexuality, disability, ableism, religion and other factors. The course examines and compares the experiences of North America's diverse population of women including African Americans, Asian Americans, Chicane/Chicanx, Latine/Latinx, Native Americans, and white Americans.
