Gender Studies

The students will read about events and people significant to the women's suffrage movement in the United States. They will review documents, photographs, poems and listen to music associated with the movement. They will compose a poster using four primary source documents.

Students will conduct research to gain an understanding for where women started in American society, and as a result a better understanding of how they got to the position they are in today.

Students will read primary documents from suffrage workers and female WWI contributors to discover their feelings toward not being allowed to vote.
