HIST 3366 Latin American Women in the Modern Era
In this course, students will examine the changes that have taken place in the conceptualization, gendered roles, and overall status of women in Latin American societies from 1910 to the present. Major focuses will include the heritage of gender within both Hispanic and Indigenous cultural milieus, the factors contributing to changes in traditional roles during the early and middle twentieth century, and the changes still in progress. In addition to traditional texts, the course would include work by major women authors such as Isabel Allende and Elena Poniatowska.
