Essay Assignment: Read all of the secondary sources and one of the primary sources from the 17th and 18th century list, and one of the primary sources from the 19th century list. Write an essay in which you develop an argument about what your analysis of the document allows you to understand about gender in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries in the colonies and the Early Republic. As part of your argument, explain how your analysis of the primary source adds to or challenges the information and ideas about gender in the secondary sources. Cite all your sources (primary and secondary) using APA style at the end of the essay. (250-350 words)
