Syllabus for fall 2004 course History 101: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES ON GLOBALIZING FEMINISM: 1848-2004

Scholarly interests: My field of expertise is the history of U.S. women with a focus on political history. My specialty is the history of the woman suffrage movement in the United States, and of the history of American feminism more generally defined. I am also interested in multicultural perspectives. In U.S. and U.S. women's history, as evidenced by my work on my coedited anthology, Unequal Sisters. Currently I am working on a large project on the history of international feminism, especially with respect to political rights. I am also working on a series of biographies on American women in 1848. I have taught and mentored generally in U.S. History, 1830-1930.
