HISTORY 350 - women in Nineteenth-Century america

Institution:

Rhodes College

Subject:

Description:

Fall. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Humanities. This course is a multicultural investigation of women in nineteenth-century America. Encounters between Native Americans and Euro-American colonizers, the expansion of market capitalism, the ideology of True Womanhood, and the growth of chattel slavery reverberated through women's lives. So, too, the Civil War, industrialization, and urbanization transformed gender relations. The ways that women both shaped and were shaped by these developments will be examined. Popular magazines, sermons, songs, and American painting will reveal a discourse on gender that called forth American concerns about liberty and order, hierarchy and equality, individualism and community. (Course offered in alternate years; scheduled for 2009-2010.)
