American High – Women's Studies

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The class will help students see women’s past and current role in the country and in the world with a deeper understanding of their significance. Units include an overview of women’s coalitions, violence against women, international women’s issues, women and the media, body image, and a research project on a subject of personal choice. Through these topics students will be empowered with tools of political activism and self-advocacy as they question existing social and political structures. All students will have the opportunity to enhance their understanding of themselves and the world by studying inspirational examples of powerful women.
