This course takes a wide-ranging view of the re-emergence of the struggle over the status of women in American society between the 1950s and the 1980s to explore the multiple feminisms that took shape, and their relation to social and cultural developments. It focuses in particular on the competing narratives constructed to explain the histories of this social movement, taking into account differences in race, class, religion, ethnicity, employment, sexuality, health, education and immigration.
