History 280 - Medieval and Renaissance Women

Institution:

Dickinson College

Subject:

Description:

Women have always constituted approximately half of the human population, and yet at virtually all times and places they have been subordinate to men; and until fairly recently their history has been ignored. Beginning with the Ancient World and continuing up to the sixteenth century, this course will investigate the status and ideas about women in various cultures. Relying on primary documents, we will consider the influences that affected the position of women, and, when the sources permit, how women regarded their situation. Offered every two years.
