Join us as we unveil our new curriculum guide, Expanding Roles of Women! This expansive guide provides an entry point for teaching about the history of women in the United States from the colonial period to the dawn of the twentieth century, with a focus on drawing connections to the present.
Participants will be introduced to the guide’s themes—Suffragists, Professionals, and Radicals—as well as the featured portrait subjects, including Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Mary Cassatt, Anne Catherine Hoof Green, Zitkála-Šá, and many more! We’ll also discuss the variety of historical women’s voices presented in this guide and consider our own perspectives on teaching women’s history.
