Valuable Resources for Educators
Women & the American Story
Women & the American Story (WAMS) is a free, online curriculum guide from the New-York Historical Society designed to connect K-12 educators across the country with classroom resources that illuminate the contributions of diverse women to the American past.
This curriculum brings together primary resources, brief biographies, background information, and classroom application tools and activities, so that you can seamlessly integrate new resources into existing social studies lessons on various topics and themes, or create additional lessons focused on the unique experiences of women at various points in the nation’s history. The full curriculum will consist of ten units that track with the U.S. history survey. Two new units will launch each year until 2022. Explore the first two units, Early Encounters, 1492-1734 and Modernizing America, 1889-1920 now!
