Make two timelines about Women & Gender in America to 1865, check following instructions for more
details.
Please do not plagiarize and do not use any AI tools for this analysis. Cite the source
you used. Very important!!!!!!!!!!!
Timeline #1: full arc of class
– This timeline must start at around 1500 & end at 1865
– Your timeline may be horizontal or vertical, or you can get creative. As long as
others can follow your timeline & make sense of it!
– Mark your timeline off into equal intervals (eg decades, 5 year intervals, etc) – (This
sometimes causes a few people difficulty, but is not actually hard to do.)
– Choose 10 big events (eg wars, massacres, changes in government, writing of the
constitution,
etc)
– These events should be spaced out over the entire arc of the class. They do not
need to be spaced at regular intervals, but don’t have them all bunched up in one
place
– for each event include:
– date / year (put at the appropriate place on the timeline)
– title (eg ‘American Revolution’ or ‘Partus Sequitur Ventrem law passed in Virginia
Colony’)
– Put enough information that others know what happened. This does not need to
be in full sentences, just the main information briefly.
– eg for ‘US entered WWI’ – [also, don’t use WWI because it is not within the time
period of this class]
– eg for ‘Haymarket Riot’ – ‘violent confrontation between police & labour
activists in Chicago’ [also not in the time period of the class]
Timeline #2: focused on a specific topic about Women & Gender in America to 1865 that you
want to investigate for the full project
– This entire timeline needs to be for 10 – 20 years. You should choose a topic or
event that happened within the timeframe of the course. You must clearly indicate
the boundaries of your timeline (earliest & latest dates / years). Your timeline #2
should be marked at even intervals (eg 1 year, 6 months) that make sense for what
you are including.
– Choose a topic that interests you. This is actually the most difficult part.
– You cannot choose something too big: eg WWII; people write entire libraries on
that.
– However, you can start there & narrow yourself down to something like ‘internment
of Japanese Americans during WWII’ [also not in the time period of this course]
– You shouldn’t pick something too narrow. eg Georgia O’Keefe. What about her?
– However, you can start there & figure out a theme she fits into that interests you. eg
‘women artists in the 20th century who were successful enough to have their work
included in major fine arts museums’ [also not in the time period of this course]
– Write 2-3 sentences explaining what your topic is & ideally why you find it
interesting.
– Include 10 entries on this timeline all of which are relevant to the topic you have
chosen. This is really the heart of this stage. I’m forcing you to start thinking about a
topic that you can work with in future stages, ideally something you would actually
like to explore. This is surprisingly difficult to start, but makes your life infinitely easier
once you get going.
– Your entries must be not just true, but directly useful to your theme. eg If you are
doing ‘successful female painters of the 20th century’, do not include Georgia
O’Keefe’s birt year. Unless you are examining something like ‘how common was the
name Georgia for babies born between …?’ then we really don’t care when she was
born. On the other hand, the year that her first painting was exhibited by a well
known museum, might be of interest.
– Just as in timeline #1, you need to indicate the date / year of each entry. Give it a
short name that makes sense in terms of both the event & your theme, & provide a
very brief explanation of how it relates to your theme.
Here is the template.
