MATERIAL

At ”Hjärntorget” you will find several Chapters from the Textbook ”Living History”. You should look at the different Chapters – their titles and subtitles to get an idea about the background to this period as well as information about the two revolutions. These Chapters is a ”library” so you have a place where you find accurate information as well as some hints in what order you should put them. There is also a paper about feminism and the part that covers the earlier periods is of interest when you cover this assignment. At this page you will find a bunch of papers that will help you as well. Just like ”Living History” – this is a library! Unless you have an enormous thirst for knowledge look at them with caution and see which ones will help you with your presentation.
