“The Bay Area’s numerous shipyards hired the greatest number 
of women defense workers; towards the end of the war, 27 percent of Richmond’s shipyard workforce was women, and 20 percent of the Moore shipyard in Oakland.” (–from “Women at War” website)

This is a blog, or a web-log, and is meant to be a helpful supplement to the course. I will post lecture notes here, along with study guides, images, notes, and any other course-related material, usually right after each day’s class. If you arrive late or miss class, this is the first place you should look to see what you missed.
The blog is not a requirement, but I strongly recommend you check this blog at least twice a week, especially the day before class, to make sure you are keeping up with assignments and reading. I also recommend you register for the blog by clicking here – when you register, you will automatically get emails for every post.
