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
This module deals with the history of women and gender relations in the contemporary age. Through lectures and critical reading of original sources, the course aims to trace the path to women’s emancipation and the construction of female citizenship by analysing the social, political and economic level. The practices and theories, changes and continuities of historical women’s associations throughout the waves of feminism and its many facets will be examined in the framework of the national and transnational experiences.
