How did patterns of class and gender roles change in eighteenth-century North America?

The topic is: How did patterns of class and gender roles change in eighteenth-century North America?

You will do research on the topic and develop a thesis, which you will prove with the use of secondary sources (you may use primary sources as well). A really good paper will not simply be descriptive; you should pose an analytical question and use your sources to answer it.

Formatting:

All of your papers should be double-spaced, with one-inch margins, and in ten- or twelve-point type.

Academic style: You must include endnotes or footnotes and a bibliography, both in the Chicago style.

Sources: must use at least THREE reputable, peer-reviewed outside sources.

There are a number of types of sources you should not use. You MAY NOT USE any general encyclopedias (online or otherwise), or non-academic websites.

Stylistic Tips:

Do not include the phrase, “According to the dictionary, x is…”
Do not use the first person or the second person (“you”). This is a formal essay. If you need to use a pronoun, it should be the indefinite “one.”
Do not refer to any historical person, male or female, by his or her first name.
Do not use contractions.
Do not use lengthy quotes—these are brief papers.
