3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded (includes P/F option)
Not repeatable for credit

Description:
This course will explore the ways in which women in Europe have advocated for their own rights since the time of the Enlightenment, looking at issues like revolution, war, feminism, Eastern Europe, empire, sexuality, masculinity, gender fluidity, and racism. The course examines the many barriers European women have historically faced, both formal and informal, to equal standing in the world. Ultimately, it asks whether the phrase “Women: the longest revolution,” uttered by an activist in 1966, still applies to our own time.
