Grossman 106     Limit 25      This course is a repeat of the first six-week session. 

This will be a crash course on the history of women across time and geography. During this six-week session, we will discuss: the status of women in our distant past; how they have been viewed by various religions and theologians; their historic roles in the politics of nations and public life; a woman’s historical place in family life; the suffrage and women’s liberation movements in modern times; and the backlash against women’s progress in the new millennium, in light of the rise of AI technology and its impact on emotional relationships – in short, the future of women’s rights.
