Description:

This course examines women's positions in and contributions to society, exploring the genesis, development, and impact of our culture's assumptions about women's nature and women's roles. As an interdisciplinary study of women's experience in cross-cultural and historical perspective, the course investigates women's personal and public lives, and seeks to identify and understand the particularly "female" aspects of these experiences. Students are introduced to the issues, perspectives, and findings of this relatively new field of scholarship, which examines the role of gender in the construction of knowledge.
