Here’s a chance for students to read documents and look at images that shed light on issues facing women and facing the country during World War II.

African-American women, along with white women, were also needed due to labor shortages and had greater opportunities than ever before, but nonetheless still faced discrimination. Japanese-American women faced great challenges due to internment in camps throughout the western United States but still managed to contribute to the war effort and to endure the indignities of living in difficult situations.

Topics include the following:

Women Workers

Nurses during World War II

Women in the Military

Japanese-American Women

African-American Women

Victory Gardens and Rationing

Women's Land Army

Women Volunteers

This 21-page resource with 24 primary sources, 24 comprehension questions plus 2 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to identify the tensions for women between tradition and progress in the 1920s, along with the new opportunites. The first page includes Background, Notes on Primary Sources and Teacher Notes.

Here’s a chance for students to read documents and look at images that shed light on issues facing women in the 1920s. These include newspaper pictures and articles about flappers, a flapper's own writing about her life, the Equal Rights Amendment, an argument against the E.R.A., pictures of women at work, data about women's work, women's recreation and leisure activities, the impact of consumerism and a study on life in the 1920s from the famous Middletown sociological study. There are, of course, so many more documents and issues of the 1920s such as the Red Scare and the Scopes trial but these documents cover a broad range of what women experienced. Many of the political events of the time still minimized, or even excluded, women's input although sometimes women provided reflections, opinions and even participation when possible. Nonetheless, the included primary sources highlight much of the modern advances and developments for women which stood in contrast to many of the traditional views and expectations that held sway in America at the time.

Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest.

Primary sources include letters, photos, newspaper articles, reports and other documents. Each page of primary sources includes comprehension questions at the end in order for students to analyze perspectives, consider key ideas and identify bias.

This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students, but all students will find these resources engaging.

This 25-page resource with 22 primary sources, 27 comprehension questions and 3 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to look in depth at women's experiences and contributions during the Progressive Era. The first two pages include Background, Notes on Primary Sources and Teacher Notes.

Here’s a chance for students to read documents and look at images that shed light on issues facing women and facing the country during the Progressive Era. These include photographs, speeches, newspaper articles, speeches, pamphlets and reports. Although some issues that Progressive women addressed pertained just to women, many issues were significant to both men and women. For the first time, due to the increased number of women's groups, women were able to influence society outside of the domestic realm such as working conditions, consumer safety, temperance and suffrage to name a few. And, these sources address the fact that discrimination and segregation of African-Americans remained an unresolved issue.

Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest.

Each page of primary sources includes comprehension questions at the end in order for students to analyze perspectives, consider key ideas and identify bias.
