HIST 321 - Women in The World Wars

Institution:

Widener University-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course examines the experiences of British, French, German, Russian, and American women on both the homefront and battlefront during the First and Second World Wars. Through a comparative study of women's attitudes, their domestic and public activities, and government policies toward them, the course investigates women's traditional and nontraditional wartime roles. It also considers the impact of the World Wars on attitudes toward women and on women's opportunities and status in the immediate post-war years. Memoirs, diaries, and correspondence by women who worked in war industries, served in auxiliary military services, and fought on the front lines are among the primary sources students use to obtain evidence about women's wartime experiences. 3 semester hours
