As we see American women coming into positions of unprecedented economic and political power, we start to wonder: why now? This history course, the first of two Women Have Always Worked courses, explores women in America and introduces students to historians’ work to uncover the place of women and gender in America’s past.

This history course will trace an arc from the Colonial Period through the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which formally established women’s right to vote. You will learn how women negotiated for the home and workplace and how the tension between the two resulted in a persistent disadvantage for women in both arenas. You will also learn how race and class have shaped ideas about gender. This course tells the story of overall achievement and growth for women, but also discusses expanding democracy, social justice and new definitions of liberty and equality.

The Women Have Always Worked courses are the first full-length MOOCs on the history of women in America.
