Study of Women and Gender 370 - WOMEN AGAINST EMPIRE

Anti-imperialist movements across the globe in the late 19th to mid-20th centuries led multiple projects for the liberation and equality of people. These movements sought to build sovereign nations independent of colonial power and to develop radically new social orders. For women in these movements, the problem of empire had complex regional and local inflections that began with the politics of reproduction and state formation. This course draws on the Sophia Smith Archives to examine women's involvement contesting empire.
