Women’s political, social and economic status has undergone several transformations in American history. This seminar will explore readings and documents in three of those stages: Women in the Early Republic, Laws affecting Women, and Famous American Women.

This program will be conducted as a discussion, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings, and with the Discussion Leader facilitating the conversation, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants, therefore, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.
