This history course will consider the experience of women rulers in history.

By examining the role of prominent monarchs and elected heads of governments, the course will explore issues regarding the qualities of effective leadership, nationalism, and gender. Through assigned readings, research papers, and class discussions, students will also be encouraged to consider the validity of traditional patriarchal historiography, which tends to frame the experience of women rulers, as well as women in general, as outside the norm. 3 sem. hrs. 3 crs.
