Course Description

This course commences around 1800 as the modern women’s movement dawns and Ohio prepares for statehood. The course will then go into considerable detail on the pre-Civil War progressiveness of our region for women’s rights and education. These efforts and the intertwined ones of abolitionism and temperance garnered much Northeast Ohio support. In the later push for women’s suffrage, Northeast Ohio was a state leader — another course emphasis. Mid-century brought Northeast Ohio female workplace trailblazers. The course wraps up in the mid-1960s with the passage of the Civil Rights Act’s Title VII and the official, though unrealized, end of workplace gender discrimination.
