American History as Seen Through Female Eyes - Many More Layers

We'll continue examining the many layers of our country's history from the 16th to the 20th century through the female experience. As we seek more information about this period of history, it's important to be aware of it to truly understand the past and the present. Expanding upon the earlier class, we'll identify additional female roles in the development of the country and differentiate between racial experiences. We'll also discuss good and bad laws that impacted women and the validity of the "separate sphere" ideology. Former students and new students are welcome to join.
