| Term: Spring Semester 2023 |
| Description: This course considers the historical evolution of women's private lives, public presence, and political engagement within and beyond the borders of the United States, from the 1890s to the present. How have U.S. racism, consumer capitalism, immigration, and changing forms of state power shaped women's experiences and possibilities? How have regimes of gender, sexuality, bodily comportment, and reproduction evolved in relation to national and global changes? Emphasis will be placed on the experiences and perspectives of working-class women, women of color, and colonized women. |

| Instructor's comments about the book list: Mary Lynn Rampolla's _Pocket Guide to Writing in History_ is a very helpful reference. I recommend it for those who wish to strengthen your writing and have an easy-to-use guide to citations and the proper use of quoted material, especially if you like working with a slim, easy-to-carry volume. Our Moodle site will provide other resources to help you with these things, so note that this is optional. Also, if you do decide to purchase Rampolla, an older edition be adequate (and less expensive). |
