Women’s History Month, March 2021

In the 1970s, Women’s History Month began as a week-long celebration of the important role that women play in our society and grew to a month-long celebration of women’s contributions.   As a parent, how can you teach your children about women in our history?  One of the reasons I am writing this blog is to provide parents with information and resources that they can use to teach their children. 

            There are many websites with activities and recommended books for children of all ages.  I have reviewed some of them and find the following ones to have wonderful information and suggestions:

            Since there are so many resources available, why not extend the study of great women in our history from only one month to several months of the year or all year long!
