Prerequisite: Previous course work in women's studies or history Does some shared history link American Indian girls sent to BIA boarding schools at the turn of the century with the immigrant girls who labored for the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory? How is "women's" history different? What difference does women's history make to U.S. history? This course considers such questions by examining the situations of women in the U.S. from 1877 forward. It introduces students to the theories and methods of women's history that scholars have developed over the last quarter century. Central to this course is the recognition that women's experiences are not simple parallels to men's, and involve differences among women such as those based on sexuality, class, race and regional factors.
