This class was part of a National Endowment for the Humanities institute for college and university teachers hosted by the City University of New York Graduate Center. Women in the Late 19th Century Watch it: 8:40 am, 11:40 am, 8:40 pm & 11:40 pm ET Saturday Professor Heather Cox Richardson talks about the new roles that late 19th century women assumed in the workforce and in politics. She describes the gains women made in fields such as nursing, teaching and social work. We also hear about women's political organizations, which focused on Prohibition and women’s suffrage, among other issues.   “We have this scene (from a cartoon) that's very much in the same world as the previous one. It's suggesting that if women gain rights, if women seek power and win power, they're going to abandon their domestic duties. They're going to force men to become more womanly, and it's going to lead to other changes, including challenging the class hierarchies.” ALLISON LANGE       Available in the App Store and on Google Play:  C-SPAN Now is a free mobile app featuring video of the day's biggest political events, presented in C-SPAN's signature unfiltered, think-for-yourself style.     Most Hated Presidents in American History on The Presidency Watch it: 2 pm ET Saturday   Watch a preview.   What do Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon have in common?
