Description








Drawing from many disciplines (literature, psychology and history, among others), this course provides an introduction to the forces that shape contemporary women’s lives. It is designed to question “common sense” notions of gender and look at how our ideas about what it means to be a woman are shaped by race, class, popular culture and public policy. Cross-listed with SOCI 131.
