HIS 213 - Women in American History
4 Hour(s)
General Education H2
Although the slogan, “Well-behaved women seldom make history,” has become popular in recent years, in this course we will consider the lives of all women - both well- and ill-behaved. Women’s history began as the study of famous individuals such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Abigail Adams, and Harriet Tubman, and their lives certainly matter, but so too do the experiences of everyday women. These include women like my great-great grandmother, who traveled across the Atlantic from Sweden to the Kansas prairie with her six children, only to die just a year after emigrating, leaving her family in the hands of her grieving husband and younger sister. This semester we will explore the role that women have played in the history of the United States, with a keen eye for the differences, as well as similarities among women. No singular “woman’s experience” exists, but we will attempt to understand the ways that gender, alongside race, class, sexuality, and ethnicity, has shaped women’s opportunities and experiences. This is an H2 course, so we will continue to develop the skills outlined in the Pio Core: critical thinking, analytical writing, and information fluency (research), through the methods specific to the discipline of history.
