Pbs: Sisters of '77: Women's Issues Then and Now (Lesson Plans)

Two lessons that allow students to deepen their understanding of the issues addressed by the women's movement by comparing issues of the present day with those fought for in the 1970s. Best use of these lessons requires access to the PBS documentary "Sisters of '77," but many helpful resources to support studies of women's rights, the women's movement, and the role of women in the media can be found online at the documentary's companion site.
