課程簡介

As the course title should make clear, this course will focus on the history of gender, and on gender history; what the title does not make clear, but what potential students should know, is that unlike in past semesters when other professors have taught History 3420, this semester’s version of the course will deal only with Western history. Its focus will be on the early modern and modern eras. Material will be covered in chronological order.

Each week will focus on one individual (most weeks, though not all, will focus on one woman). The choice of which twelve people to focus on is never perfect, but most of the people chosen were somehow representative of gender relations during their time.

Most weeks will include one primary source by or about that individual, along with one secondary source about gender relations during the period in which that person lived.
