Fri 9/14 Workshop Day: Gender in the Gilded Age

by Dr. H - September 14th, 2012

In class today, we’ll work in groups of three on some primary and secondary sources to help us understand gender in Victorian America. Some of you will have papers, some will have reproductions of mail-order catalogs, some will have photographs, and some of you will work online using laptops.
