CLQ 3181 C8/HI:Women's Causes Women's Voices

This course looks at women's experience (in their own words) in the 19th and 20th centuries, mainly in the U.S. During this period, women organized themselves and advocated fiercely for reforms to prisons, marriage laws, and working conditions. We will examine the lives of, among others: Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Catherine and Harriet Beecher, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Blackwell, Frances Willard, Mary McLeod Bethune, Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton, Eleanor Roosevelt, Dolores Huerta, and Jeannette Rankin.
