Both sex and the city of London changed in remarkable ways between 1700 and 1900. Our modern ideas of gender difference and the modern city of London both emerged during this period. Hist 395 at the University of Southern California explored these parallel changes. After learning about this topic on campus the course, thanks to the Department of History's Foulke Fellowship, went to London for a week to explore how these changes marked the city itself. This website consists of exhibits that the students curated about their visit.
