HST 310 - America’s Working Women

3 credits D
The experience of American working women - black and white, native and immigrant, organized and unorganized - from the colonial period to the present day. Because work is defined as productive labor, this course will examine women as paid and unpaid workers - in the marketplace as well as in the home. Some of the areas of study will be women on the frontier, women in the mills and factories, labor union women, women in the professions, and the history and politics of housework. Cross-listed as LST 310, WMS 310
