A corset illustrates the lives of many women in the 19th century: constrained and forced into an unnatural shape. But not all women lived in such a constricted way. This course introduces you to ten remarkable women: spies, suffragists, agitators, reformers; women like Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Van Lew, and Mother Jones, who moved out of tightly bound expectations and left an indelible mark on America.
