CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course examines the diverse and fascinating ways that gender has shaped American history from the colonial period to the present. The history of women informs us about the once little-known history of femininity. And, as a result, historical changes in definitions of masculinity become visible. The meanings of gender across the U.S. history are explored in this course through topics such as: the doctrine of separate spheres, the family wage, queer sexualities and gender variance, imperialism, citizenship, and fertility.
