		However, the structure of the United States was profoundly changed in 1788 when the states replaced the Articles of Confederation with the United States Constitution; often, sources use the date each of the original 13 states adopted the Constitution as the date on that state "entered the Union" (became part of the United States).
		The United States also holds several other territories, districts and possessions, notably the federal district of the District of Columbia, which is the nation's capital, and several overseas insular areas, the most significant of which are Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands.

	History 306/506: History of Women in the U.S. 1869 Present (Badura)
		The first is to understand that the course is about both "woman" and "women." "Woman" focuses on the shared experience of women across cultural boundaries; "women" admits the role cultural diversity (race, class, ethnicity, religion, age, etc.) in addition to gender plays in shaping women's identities and experiences.
		And we want to examine the ways women worked both within and outside those constraints to shape their own lives, those of their families, and of their local and national communities.
		Ideally the course would require a conversant knowledge of traditional American history to 1869; however, since some students may not have had college level history courses to provide the basic background, that is not a requirement.

		This chronological survey of U.S. womens history since 1900 attempts to balance the story of outstanding women with that of ordinary women of all cultures, races, and classes.

		Failure to attend class regularly will detract from your discussion grade, and my policy is to administer make-up quizzes only at one set time at the end of the course.

		In Jane Kamensky's essay on colonial women of European and African descent, we learn about demographics (just what did it mean for white women in the colonial Chesapeake that they were outnumbered by men?) and the complexity of colonial marriage.
		The volume is comprehensive, though perhaps already somewhat dated; it smacks of the 1980s cheerleading style of women's history, and does not reflect recent work that employs gender as a category of analysis rather than simply talking about women as a subject for historical analysis.
		No Small Courage is a survey of women's history in the U.S. John Demos opens with a discussion of Native women during colonization.
