Institution:

Subject:

Description:

GSS Women make history, as historical actors and as historians. This course considers the "woman question" in the medical, legal, religious, and political discourses of the early modern period through processes such as the centralization of European states, Protestant and Catholic reformations, explorations, and colonial settlement. Course readings examine how social, economic, and other material circumstances shaped the history of working and bourgeois women. Where possible, the course focuses on women's cultural production-literary, musical, and artistic-andserves as an opportunity to reflect upon the history of women's studies, both as a field of inquiry and as an academic institution.
