Course/Module description:
History was one of the first fields feminist scholars turned to as part of an attempt to understand the world they lived in and the past. This course will examine the new methods gender studies have brought to historical studies and the new historical narratives that have developed over the past decades. We will survey a variety of methods used in the field and their development using primary and secondary sources from a wide range of historical periods and areas and also partially survey the developments in feminist studies using these examples. The course is intended for students of all periods.
