Institution:

Rosemont College

Subject:

Description:

This course will use the experience of women as the lens through which we examine the history of America from the end of the civil war until the present. Topics to be covered will include the changing conditions and ideas about unpaid housework and paid work; relations between different groups of women and the way relations of power have shaped these interactions; the ongoing political struggle to gain increased civil and political rights; and changing notions of "proper" roles for women, especially regarding sexuality. We will consider which ideas and assumptions within American culture have changes and which have stayed the same.
