Women and Social Movements in the United States

Creator: SUNY Binghamton | visit site

Grade Range: 8 - 11

Originally created at SUNY Binghamton, this site offers interesting perspective on the involvement of women in American social movements from the 1830s onward. Go straight to the “Teachers’ Corner” for synopses and write-ups ordered chronologically. These can provide some interesting additional texture for American history elements already in your curriculum.

In the Classroom

One of the most useful parts of the site are the pre-prepared DBQ’s that are seen predominantly in classes preparing for the AP exam. Use the Document Based Questions on this site to help students prepare and practice for their exam. Make sure to pass this one on to other AP teachers!
