University of Texas: Restoring Women to World Studies [Pdf]

Curated by ACT

In much of the social studies-especially courses focused on world history, geography, and culture-there has been a long-standing awareness that the experience of women has been left out of the narrative. Recent changes in state, national, and Advanced Placement educational standards have sought to remedy this omission by calling for the inclusion of women's studies in the social studies curriculum. However, the most widely available resources tend to focus on the experience of women in Western Europe and North America. Restoring Women to World Studies: A Document-Based Question Curriculum Unit for Grades 9-12seeks to address these new requirements and the current regional bias in available resources.
