WMST 228 Women in European History: 1750 to the Present
This course examines the lives of European women in the modern world from the mid-eighteenth century through the twenty first, with particular attention to women’s creative choices in navigating an oppressive gender system. Focus will be on the applicability of the standard periodization of European History to the lives of European women as they experienced the intersectionality of race, class, gender, and sexuality, and as they responded with risk-taking strategies for living lives of meaning. Scope will encompass the expanding economic, political, social, and legal opportunities available to women and their innovative strategies for taking advantage of these opportunities.
