HIST 354 - Women Radicals and Refomers

Institution:

Mercy University

Subject:

Description:

The tradition of women radicals and reformers is longstanding. In the late eighteenth century, Abigail Adams in America and Mary Wollstonecraft in England argued for the rights of women, among other causes. In the nineteenth century, a remarkable cross-section of women radicals emerged at the intersections of the campaigns for abolition, women’s suffrage, Indian rights, and temperance. This course will explore the causes that motivated them and the historical experiences that molded them. It will also trace their historical legacy to twentieth century radicals and reformers, such as Emma Goldman, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Angela Davis, and consider their value as contemporary role models. 3 sem. hrs. 3 crs.
