Women, Marriage, and Family in Cross Cultural Perspectives

Mary Weismantel, Professor, Anthropology: and Director, Program of Gender & Sexualities Studies

When we talk about women, marriage, and family, we often assume the changes we have witnessed in our own lives are something completely new, but there has been much variation throughout the long history of our species. This course will enrich understanding of women's lives around the world in ancient and modern times through a survey of anthropological studies of women, marriage, and family across cultures.

Class will not be held on Tuesday, April 29. Class will be held on Tuesday, June 10.
