Description
Trace the evolution of women’s rights from the colonial era into the 1990s. Did the new United States constitution give women their liberty? Why was the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 held? What
was the outcome of the convention? How do the feminists of the early twentieth century compare to the older generations of women reformers in the mid- to late-nineteenth century? What is women’s
liberation and how does it differ from liberal feminism? In what ways did the goals of feminism of the 1960s and 1970s become part of mainstream American life?
