    Description
    Formerly: HIST C120. The course will examine the traditional and developing roles of women in American history. Emphasis will be on the 19th century struggle to gain equal status legally, the struggle of the twentieth century woman to solidify and build on these gains, comparisons of the images developed through literature and mass media with the realities of women's lifestyles and women's contributions to economic, political and social change particularly in the twentieth century.
