HISTORY 3225 - Women in U.S. History

Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

The principal theme of this course in women’s history can be summed up in this phrase: “Unity, Difference, and Diversity: The Search for Sisterhood and Beyond.” Working with a textbook, a number of scholarly articles, and documents that come from throughout American history, we will explore the ways in which women have both been affected by, and helped to shape, this nation’s history. Our emphasis will be on how women of different socioeconomic backgrounds, races, and ethnic groups have experienced colonization, American expansion, sectionalism, the industrial revolution, urbanization, immigration, war, economic depression, cultural transformations and political change. We will be looking not only at commonalities but also differences among women as well as the conflicts between women and a society based on male supremacy. We will be exploring how race, ethnicity, and class affect the experience of gender.
