Women make up 51 percent of the U.S. population.
Incorporating women into history changes our understanding of the past in fundamental ways.
Roads from Seneca Falls will help K-12 teachers and students incorporate women's history into U.S. history and social studies classes by making web-based materials on women's history and leadership more easily available.
"Roads" resources may be used by any age group:
- in classrooms
- small groups
- by individuals
- in formal curricula
- for team projects.
