Spring 2021 Classes

Dr. Ruth McClelland-Nugent / TR / 2:30—3:45pm

This course will examine the history of women in either a geographical or topical approach. It will examine the

female role of mother, daughter, sister, and leader in a particular society, such as America, Europe, Asia, Latin

America, etc. Or, the course will be centered on a particular cross-cultural topic, such as suffrage, family roles,

leaders, religion, etc. In all cases, this course is intended to explore the paradox between the ideal woman and actual treatment of women in a given era, society, culture, or movement. Students taking the graduate level

course will be required to complete additional work. May be repeated for credit.
