WOMEN'S HISTORY

We will do research on Women's contributions to American History as part of Women's History Month which occurs every March. Choose a website listed below to see the many women who have contributed to the development of the United States. As you review the women listed on the site, choose one woman whom you admire and read about that woman. You will then write up a summary of that woman's contributions that will be part of the "Woman's History Wall" that our team will create.
