HS341 American Women’s History
The idea of equal rights for all is familiar today, but legal, cultural, political and economic restrictions separated women from men for much of America’s historical course. This course examines women as Americans who could not achieve full citizenship, and for whom the idea of “rights” proved long in coming. We explore how these ideas moved from the margins through 19th century private worlds, abolitionism, suffrage, wartime involvement, Women’s Lib campaigns, and ME Too activism; to understand why the voices of half the population were hushed and why the goal of equal rights is still not historical.
