WGS 385 - Gender at Work

Description
What is women’s work? How has it changed over the course of American history? How is it valued? This course explores the world of women’s work by comparing it to “men’s” work. We will focus on wage earning, caregiving, sex work, housework, “double days,” and “glass ceilings.” We will especially consider women’s strategies of survival and resistance from various demographic, racial, and ethnic groups. Same as AMS/BOS 385 .
