    Description
    The class examines the construction of womanhood in the US during the twentieth century. The class explores the effects of gender, ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation upon women's experiences. Students will study the contributions of various individual women and groups of women in creating the modern United States, and will analyze social, political, economic, and cultural forces affecting women to both join and resist movements for social change. Students will also learn to apply contemporary feminist theory to traditional historical approaches.
