In the 150 years since the Civil War, women’s lives have changed in dramatic ways.In acquiring the right to vote and the responsibilities of working both inside and outside their homes, women have come closer to being full participants in US polity and society than ever before.Yet that participation has varied across class, racial and ethnic lines.In this course we will investigate not only the social, economic, and political shifts which have affected and been affected by women, but also the diversity within the female experience. We will study active women who lobbied for political change and worked to reform society as well as more ordinary women who had families and developed careers.Our vehicle for these investigations will often be individual women’s stories found in novels, memoirs, and biographies, as well as oral history interviews conducted by enrolled members of the class.As in any history course, the reading list, paper assignments and class projects are intended to aid you in further developing your talents in thinking, writing, and speaking critically about historical texts.
