    Description
    This course allows students to explore United States History through the diverse perspectives and experiences of Native, African, Latinx, Asian, and white American women. Students will compare cultural constructs of gender with the reality of women's lifestyles and their contributions to economic, political, and social change. The course will especially focus on how the different ethnic groups of women shaped the History of the United States, and how they challenged social inequities supported by the intersection of race, gender, and class. The emphasis will be on the twentieth century woman.
