GGS 435SEM History of Working Women

Traces the changes in women's work in the home, in the family, and in the labor force in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Focusing on working class women's experiences in the labor force, we explore the impact of urbanization and industrialization on women in different ethnic and racial communities, their experiences and conflicts with unions, and their contributions to labor struggles. This course is the same as AMS 435, and course repeat rules will apply. Students should consult with their major department regarding any restrictions on their degree requirements.¿
