Class Description:
Throughout American history the law has assigned rights and duties differently for women than for men, and differently among women depending on race, class, nationality, and sexuality. This course will provide students with a broad foundation in women's legal status from the colonial era through the 20th century. We will examine gendered aspects of American legal history, including citizenship; political and civil rights; marriage, divorce, and child custody; reproductive and physical autonomy; and economics and educational equality. We will be reading judges opinions, statutes, and other legal documents, as well as monographs, and watching films and listening to tapes of oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court. No legal background is anticipated. The reading load will vary from week to week, but in some weeks will require reading an entire book.
Who Should Take This Class?:
Students interested in law and society, women's history, and/or women's rights. I regularly have a mix of students from majors across the university including history majors and welcome diverse perspectives and life experiences. The class is open to Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors.
