Summary:
Show kids ages 8 to 12 how women shaped the 20th century. History books often focus on the things that men have done, but that's only half the story. Covering 1901 to 2000, this journey through American history introduces young learners to the struggles and triumphs of women in America through 30 of the most important moments of the 20th century. Over the course of five easily digestible "eras," kids will explore the suffrage movement, the founding of the National Council of Negro Women, the role of Rosie the Riveter in World War II, the appointment of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court, and more.
