HIST 365 Women and Gender in Modern Europe
This course examines the experience of women and the meaning of gender in Britain, France, and Germany, from the onset of industrialization through the period following the Second World War. A major goal of this course is to understand women's experiences within and across national boundaries, that is, to come to an understanding of women in Europe by examining those experiences held in common by virtue of their sex, and those mediated through their disparate experiences of class, nationality, race, and religion. Another goal is to examine critically the methodologies and narrative strategies historians of women have employed in writing the history of women in Europe. This course is designed as a seminar, so weekly meetings will be devoted to discussion of reading as well as to student presentations.
