HIS 147 Women in American History 3 credits
This course is designed to survey women in American history, their problems, their progress, and the roles women will play in the future. A chronological-topical approach is employed to provide students with a sense of historical continuity and distinguish basic problems (social, economic, legal, political) and issues common to all women, past and present. Periods covered include the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, Reconstruction, the Progressive Era and the modern United States. W1, 11 (3 lecture hours)
