No Sexist History in this Class: Social Studies Awakens to the Study of Herstory
Article Abstract:
One teacher's efforts to inform her students about the role of women in history, resulted in a project that made an impact on the problem of sexism in educational materials. By making the young students aware of the lack of women, as role models, in their social studies text, the teacher was able to enlighten them to the possibility of erroneous information often contained in history texts. It is hoped that the students will become involved in changing some of these inequities.
