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.

This 19-page resource with 22 primary sources, 16 comprehension questions and 2 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to look in depth at women's experiences and contributions during World War I. 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 World War I. These include photographs, speeches, newspaper articles, posters, pamphlets and memoirs. For the first time, due to the men going overseas to fight, women were needed to take on men's tasks, in the factories and on the farms. Suffragists saw an opportunity to help support the war and their own cause. Additionally, African-Americans from the South, lured by jobs and opportunities in the North, came to the North in large numbers as part of the Great Migration. Some fallout from the war included the Spanish flu epidemic and the Red Scare, which affected women directly or indirectly.

Topics include the following:
Women Workers
Nurses during World War I
Suffrage and the War

Women Volunteers
African-American Women and the Great Migration
Life on the Home Front
Spanish Flu Epidemic
The Red Scare

Scavenger Hunt:
This engaging and educational scavenger hunt is designed to introduce students to the history and significance of women's suffrage in the United States. This activity is tailored for middle and high school students, aiming to foster critical thinking, collaboration, and historical understanding.

Students embark on a journey through key moments and figures of the women's suffrage movement, solving clues to unravel the rich tapestry of this pivotal period in history.

The activity begins with an optional introductory overview which provides historical context. If using the in-class option, the teacher will explain the objectives of the scavenger hunt. Students are divided into teams and equipped with clue sheets necessary for their adventure. Each clue leads teams to different locations where cards are posted. If an individual activity, the student will read the Overview and then answer the clues on the provided sheet.

This scavenger hunt encourage students to think critically about the strategies, obstacles, and achievements of the suffragists, fostering a deeper understanding of the movement's complexities.

"Who Am I?" Game

This fun ice-breaker or culminating game is a great way for students to quickly gain knowledge or review past knowledge about the women's suffrage movement. The teacher can use the provided names which can be attached to student's backs, or they can take the names and add to post-its which can be attached to student foreheads.
