Ask and Answer Questions About Women’s Rights

If you are beginning your Human Rights unit, be prepared to answer about a million different questions concerning the era of the Women’s Rights Movement. Little minds struggle to understand how women were treated during this time period and how hard women worked to earn equal voting rights.

We know how tough it is to fit your Social Studies curriculum into the school day, so we have put together many new and fun resources to help you blend Reading and Social Studies into the same segment!
