Kommentar/Beschreibung

Women and 19th-century Reform Movements: This class examines the several reform causes in which women played a significant role in the USA during the important 19th century. It will focus especially on the antislavery and woman’s rights movements but will also include women who worked on behalf of other important causes: treatment of Native Americans, the early prison system, labor and employment, and temperance. Women also led efforts to reorganize communities, enact fair child custody laws, reform Americans' health and diet, and to modify women’s dress standards. Through historical, socio-political, and literary writings, this course will study the contributions of women who participated in and often led sometimes radical efforts toward achieving the goal described in the US Constitution—to become “a more perfect union.”

Readings will include selections from well-known women writers such as Louisa May Alcott, Harriet Jacobs, Fanny Fern, Margaret Fuller, Lydia Maria Child, Ida B. Wells, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Rebecca Harding Davis, as well as from women whose writings are little known or still unpublished: Mary Merrick Brooks, Maria Stewart, Ellen Garrison Jackson, Maria Weston Chapman, Harriet Hanson Robinson, Harriet Wilson, and Frances E. W. Harper.
