| Term: Fall Semester 2025 |
| Description: From the Revolution to the Nineteenth Amendment, the denial of women's right to vote shaped their activism across a wide range of movements and initiatives. Patterns of mobilization and leadership that emerged in that era left powerful legacies. We will consider forces that have driven women to polarized political views and efforts that have united them across differences, from the 1770s to the present. How have the actions of Indigenous, African American, and immigrant women shaped the nation's political landscape? How have race, class, gender, sexuality, immigration, and empire informed women's activism? Student efforts will culminate in the production of a substantial research paper. |
