WMST 230 Women in Colonial Maryland

This course examines women in three major cultures-Native, African, and European--that met and mixed in Colonial America, especially in Maryland. Particular attention is given to women's creative choices in navigating the intersectionality of race, class, gender, and sexuality from the founding of the colony in 1632 to admission to the Union in 1788. Scope will encompass indentured servants, convict bondservants, free laborers, enslaved workers, and indigenous women, and will include women's innovative strategies for living lives of meaning, individually, as well as in familial and community relationships.
