1) Barack Obama
2) Abraham Lincoln
3) John F Kennedy
4)Donald Trump
5)Bill Clinton
6) Robert E Lee
What do these people have in common?
They are all males!
Can you name one female who contributed to the history of America?
It's hard to think of a lot of them isn't it?! Here is a brief list I came up with.
1) Susan B Anthony
2) Harriot Tubman
3) Eleanor Roosevelt
4) Rosa Parks
5) Michelle Obama
All of these women have impacted the world greatly. We often forget or never learn of these historical figures. In history books there are only very small portions dedicated to women and their accomplishments. We must teach the younger generations all the accomplishments and their influence on history.
I used this video in a past project to display the negative connotation that "like a girl" has. This reminded me a lot of this video and the stereotypes held against women.
Kristen, I absolutely love that you dedicated a blog to Women In History. I had the exact same thought as you did, males are who often come to mind. I enjoyed the video that you shared to also tie in the importance and impacts that women make on our world history. This video is great for students to gain an understanding as well!
