Women's Roles in Present-Day Spain

This course is an analysis of the roles that Spanish women have played for the last 30 years. From a very "officially" conservative society to our present social situation Spanish women's roles have changed tremendously. From the "house/mother" role with 3-4 children some 35 years ago, to a new modern professional woman with an average of 1.2 children today, Spanish women are very active and influential in every single area of Spanish society. This course will deal with these new roles in the areas of politics, literature, economics, education, family... and the impact that this has had on the entire Spanish society.
