This is a hybrid course. One section meets on site at the location listed; and one section meets online only.

An introduction to this broad subject, we cover the major periods in American history focusing on women’s roles, status, work and experiences, with comparison to those of their brothers. Participants may volunteer to make a brief presentation about a lesser-known American woman. All are welcome! This course does not seek to exclude male experiences, rather to examine the interaction of female and male gender roles.

This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
