Read “Scott, “Gender: A Useful Category of Historical Analysis,” available on Blackboard under “Course Content.” Scott’s 1986 article, a landmark in the history of women and gender, establishes how “gender” is distinct” from “sex” (in other words, “gender” is not a synonym for “women”) and can offer, as she puts it, a “useful category of historical analysis.” Note that this reading is a bit denser and more academic than some of our other readings, so take your time and have a dictionary handy. The lecture briefly contextualizes Scott’s intervention, but if you feel like you need more context for the reading, you might also read a 2014 blog post, “Joan W. Scott’s Critical History of Inequality,” by Clyde Plumauzille (link: https://www.ias.edu/ideas/2014/plumauzille-scott) and a short 2010 retrospective by Scott on the 1986 article (link: https://we.riseup.net/assets/569609/Scott.pdf).
In your initial post, which should be at least 250 words long and should quote at least one line from one of the readings, respond to the reading: why does Scott argue that gender is a “useful category of historical analysis”? Complete your initial post (at least 250 words) by 5:00pm and your two responses (at least 100 to 150 words long each) by 6:00pm
