Women in US History (HIST 215)

The heritage of women represents one-half of the history of the United States; for that reason alone it is worthy of closer scrutiny than it has received in standard history courses. The movement of women for social, political, and economic equality represents the longest and most far-reaching civil rights movement in U.S. history, yet it is a movement that has received minimal space and attention in standard history courses. This class is an attempt to bring to the foreground a history that we all share but perhaps have until now lacked the opportunity or information to focus on. It is a history that I find both maddening and inspiring, and one whose study is challenging, difficult, and ultimately so rewarding that it is worth every bit of effort, and then some.

Creating History

Our final reflection grows out of a sampling of comments from some of the truly outstanding historians who have enriched this course. History has always mattered. It is based on choices. Every generation can shape America and what it means to be an American. As you listen to the historians' comments, reflect on what studying the past teaches us. How can you create history? Why does it matter?
