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. Still in keeping with a comparative perspective, the module will address women's emancipation movements in and outside Europe; the theme of women’s education and women in the workplace; periods of discord and unity; the struggle to acquire the main political and social rights; the question of memory.
Special attention will be on gender teaching: languages and stereotypes.
