March is

Women's History Month

Phenomenal Women
Students will learn about some of the century’s greatest heroes, women who changed the perception of a “woman’s place.” Brief biographies are provided of women in the following areas: activists and reformers, government and politics, arts and media, science and space, and sports and exploration. Students who are interested in learning more about specific women will find suggested sites—links to great online resources—following each biography.

Decade by Decade
This feature takes your class on a visual journey through the century. For each decade, students will find a time line of defining events in women’s history as well as events that took place in the world and nation. The time line is juxtaposed with images from each decade, including popular figures, from politicians to actresses, and everyday women. Each decade also features a quick fact about women of the day, “Women at Work” or “Women in School,” focusing on changes that were occurring in education or in the workplace.
