Weaving women into our story of the past:
We want every student in the US to graduate high school with a more complete picture of the human experience. To that end, we provide History teachers with materials to ensure they can teach about women in every unit they cover. These resources can be integrated piecemeal into existing programs or taken as whole to transform the entire program.
Every unit contains:
- A student-friendly analysis of the period as well as ways that conventional narratives have excluded or omitted women's stories
- Three main themes and essential questions for integrating women into the larger historical narrative.
- Student-friendly primary sources that showcase women's experiences and gender roles more generally
- Secondary sources teachers can use to deepen their own knowledge of the past of women
- A more complete picture & change over time?
