In celebration, the National Archives has teamed up with other federal agencies and cultural institutions to provide digital content, including resources for teachers.
Along with the Library of Congress, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution, and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, we pay tribute to the generations of women whose commitment to nature and the planet have proved invaluable to society on http://www.womenshistorymonth.gov/. The site includes teaching resources, exhibits and collections, images, audio and video, and a list of upcoming events.
Specifically for teachers, we share several online learning activities from our DocsTeach site:
- Extending Suffrage to Women
- Suffrage and the Civil Rights Reform Movement
- Teaching Document Analysis with Rosa Parks #1
- Teaching Document Analysis with Rosa Parks #2
Many related primary sources can be found on DocsTeach relating to Women Throughout American History and Women in Wartime.
Teachers can access our special DocsTeach page with activities and primary source documents on 1970s America on DocsTeach, with primary sources on Women’s Rights.
