Overview of class

This is a graduate readings course in U.S. Women's and Gender History. We will survey a range of classic and contemporary scholarship to understand the major questions and problems in the study of women and gender, asking how women's history changes conventional narratives and how women's historians have developed intersectional analyses. Students can expect to help lead class discussion, write short papers or book reviews, and complete a final historiography paper.

Evaluation Method

Papers, class discussion.
