Book Analysis - Political Theory

BOOK ANALYSIS – WOMEN IN AMERICAN SOCIETY

The book review must be three to five pages typed double-spaced. The paper is due on NOVEMBER 29TH (MW CLASS) OR NOVEMEBER 30TH (TTH CLASS)! NO LATE PAPERS ACCEPTED! YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR PAPER TO WWW.TURNITIN.COM BY THE BEGINNING OF CLASS! The purpose of the paper is to analyze in detail a work from the bibliography given at the beginning of the semester and evaluate its historical significance. You do not need to research your author only analyze his/her work. I am looking for clarity, and critical commentary. DO NOT USE ANY QUOTES!

Analyze your book from the bibliography given this semester. Answer only one of the prompts below:

1.  If you read a book that is fiction, write a thematic analysis where you incorporate a discussion of sex, race/ethnicity/culture, and class throughout your paper. How are these themes incorporated into the story? As you analyze these themes, using an example from your textbook, discuss how they are relevant or not to our understanding of gender in U.S. History. Conclude our analysis by discussing how you fit into this thematic/historical discussion.

2.  If you read a book that is non-fiction, write an analysis where you discuss the importance of this topic to our understanding of gender in U.S. history. Include an analysis of the parallels of your book to a time period we have discussed this semester. If your book discusses a contemporary issue or figure, global or local, (2010-2016), how should it be incorporated into our future understanding of Women in U.S.history.
