Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4SS, CD, WADV

This course explores the lives of remarkable women in Latin America from the colonial period to the present. From enslaved women and religious figures to community activists and political powerhouses, we examine the histories of women who have shaped our understandings of gender, race, and agency. In addition to ‘celebrated’ personages, we will also study women on the margins of society who rarely receive the recognition for the feats they accomplish at the community level.
