HST 310 - America’s Working Women

Credits 3
Lecture / 3 hours per week
Requirements: Prerequisite: Course not open to Freshmen
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 and WMS 310. Cross-listed with WGS 310, LST 310
