Historical novels tell interesting stories about a time and its people, requiring authors to do extensive research so their writing reflects that history accurately. This class will offer a one-hour look at the history of the women's movement in the United States, with an emphasis on the Seneca Falls convention, the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, and the feminist movement in the mid-20th century. We will explore their impact on our modern times. In the second hour, we will continue with a discussion of the novel as contemporary literature. Readers and history buffs welcome! Participants should read "Lessons in Chemistry" by Bonnie Garmus before class.
