Arkansas, a Feminine Perspective
Students will be introduced to the struggle for women’s rights in the U.S. first by reading a quote from Carrie Chapman Catt. They will then study and discuss gender attitudes and the roles of women in Arkansas from colonial times to the present. Finally, students will research specific Arkansas women and their contributions to our state’s history.
