My Research Question: How has the role of women in society changed over time?
As a historian examining change over time, I plan to analyze the evolution of the role of women in society by looking at a variety of factors, including:
- Economic factors: How have women's economic opportunities changed over time? Have they had more or less access to education and employment?
- Social factors: How have cultural norms about gender roles changed over time? Have women been more or less accepted in traditionally male-dominated roles?
- Political factors: How have women's rights been enshrined in law over time? Have they had the right to vote, own property, and hold political office?
- How did the Industrial Revolution affect the lives of women?
- What were the key arguments used by the suffrage movement?
- How has the #MeToo movement changed the way we think about sexual harassment and assault?
- What are the challenges and opportunities facing women today?
