Learning outcomes
The student possesses an in-depth knowledge of feminist historiography and of the origin of women's history in different cultural contexts. He acquires methodological tools that will allow him to research autonomously in these areas.
Course contents
The module deals with the history of women and gender relations in contemporary times. Through lectures and critical reading of original sources, the course aims to develop the emancipation process and construction of female citizenship on both a social and then political level.
In particular, the crucial issues of the relationship between historical women's associations and neo-feminisms through the last decades of the twentieth century will be addressed, in a framework of national and transnational comparison.
