| Course content |
|
After a brief introduction to the heritage of the 18th century and of the Enlightenment science and discourse, the course focuses on the experience of women from different social classes and various European regions. A special attention is paid to the concept of separate spheres and its gendering as well as to the glorification of motherhood. For the contextual reasons, one class focuses on the issue of men and masculine identity. At the end of the course, the basic features of the feminist movement development, up to establishing gender studies as one of the fields of social sciences, will be discussed, and new trends in the fields of women´s history and gender history will not be left aside. The language of instruction is English.
