DESCRIPTORS Children; Curriculum; *Curriculum Development; Elementary Education; Females; Instructional Materials; Learning Modules; Material Development; Professional Training; Sex Bias; Training; *United States History; *Womens Studies IDENTIFIERS *Alaska; *Womens History ABSTRACT This module arose in part from a state law which prohibits sex discrimination in public school education. Its purpose is to increase awareness and knowledge of woman's contributions to U.S. history. The module was developed so that elementary school personnel could readily adapt its information for elementary grade students. It reviews lessons plans developed by -.1assroom teachers and encourages that these plans be adapted for use by teachers in their individual classes. The module states seven lerning objectives:(1) Participants will become acquainted with each other and with the trainer;(2) Participants will be exposed to six American women who have played important roles in our political process;(3) Participants will try to identify 48 notable Americans by matching a person's name to bibliographic information;(4) Participants will become familiar with the breadth and depth of women's participation in American history;(5) Participants will be given resource material on women in America and interesting events in Women's history;(6) Participants will have an opportunity to view women In history lesson plans, develop their own lesson plans, and share newly written plans; and (7) Participants will be given an opportunity to evaluate the workshop. It is hoped that the module will help correct sexual bias in instructional materials.

Those who worked on the development of this module are: Jeanmarie Crumb Special Assistant to the Superintendent Community Relations Anchorage School District Carole Green Chapter 18 Coordinator Alaska State Department of Education Anita Robinson Human Relations Specialist Community Relations Department Anchorage School District Jan McCrimmon Module Writer Staff Development Coordinator Charter North Hospital Susan Remick Graphic Artist Anchorage School District Sharon Jaeger Secretary Community Relations Department Anchorage School District October, 1987 INTRODUCTION TO THE MODULE SERIES Alaska's sex equity law, which prohibits sex discrimination in public school education, was passed by the Alaska Legislature in 1981. The law has been cited as one of the strongest state sex discrimination laws in the nation. This is in part due to the fact that the regulations require school districts to establish written procedures: 1. for the biennial training of certificated personnel in the recognition of sex bias in instructional materials and in instructional techniques which may be used to overcome the effects of sex bias; 2. for the biennial training of guidance and counseling staff in the recognition of bias in counseling materials and in techniques which may be used to overcome the effects of sex bias; 3. for the review of textbooks and instructional materials for evidence of sex bias; and 4. for the replacement .)r supplementation of materials found to exhibit bias. Since the implementation of these regulations, referred to as Chapter 18, many school districts have relied on the Department of Education to provide them with on-site inservice training in the area of sex discrimination. Recognizing that local school districts need their own cadre of equity trainers as well as materials, the Department of Education utilized Title IV funds for the development of a series of equity modules. During the summer of 1986, educators within Alaska developed six modules, relating directly to curriculum content areas, that are now available to all Alaskan school districts. The modules were developed and written in such a fashion that district personnel with a minimal amount of experience could conduct an equity inservice. Modules which have been completed include: Women in American History (Elementary) Computer Equity (K-12) Women in American History (Secondary) Foreign Language (Elementary) . Language Bias (K-12) Fine Arts (Elementary) Science (Elementary) Mathematics (Elementary) The Department is continuing the development of modules in other curriculum areas. The Department of Education is committed to helping school districts comply with the regulations outlined in Chapter 18. School district personnel using the modules are requested to complete the evaluation sheet and return it to the Department of Education. This C information will be used to update and improve the modules. fITLE: WOMEN IN AMERICAN HISTORY Elementary Grades PURPOSE: To bytheincrease teachersclassroom history awareness in ofteachers; theirthe Unitedand individual adaptknowledge States; and classes. write ofreview women's lesson lesson contributions plans plans to developedbe usedto LEARNING OBJECTIVE METHOD TECHNIQUE TIME ACTIVITY RATIONALE RESOURCES NEEDED become1) Participants acquainted will with Large group giving.Information 10 minutes Introductionof To set the climate for Name tags receiveTrainer,each other information discuss and with and onthe answers.Questions and otherparticipantsfacilitators (if necessary)toand each training.stategiveopen informationdiscussionmandateAlso for andreviewon HandoutFlipnewsprint(optional) chart #1 or ofclarificationandthe activities. reviewintent agendaof oninservice purpose tor andPosting review of ofobjectives agenda. goals and objectives.

A Courage Untempered by Prudence : The Writings, Reforms, and Lectures of Frances Wright Abstract Wright was careful in her approach to slavery, saying it “is not for a young and inexperienced foreigner to suggest remedies for an evil which has engaged the attention of native philanthropists and statesmen and hitherto baffled their efforts.” This changed and eventually she would have no problem asserting her views as well as the accompanying remedies, as is evidenced in Nashoba.

  • Women and the Presidency
    Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.

  • Review Essay
    Review Essay The Highest Glass Ceiling: Women’s Quest for the American Presidency. By Ellen Fitzpatrick. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2016. 318 pp. Notes, index. Cloth, $25.95. ISBN: 978-0-674-08893-1. Reviewed by Mary A. Yeager The Highest Glass Ceiling appeared just before the 2016 election. Hillary’s ghost hovers. The U.S. presidency remains a male stronghold with its glass ceiling intact. Fitzpatrick and her publisher undoubtedly saw opportunity in a probable Clinton victory. There is a brief prologue and epilogue about Clinton that bookends the biographies of three other women who competed for the presidency in different eras: Victoria Woodhull, the Equal Rights Party candidate in 1872; Margaret Chase Smith, the 1964 Republican nominee; and Shirley Chisholm, the 1972 Democratic challenger. In selecting these four women out of the two hundred or so other women who have either “sought, been nominated, or received votes for the office of the President,” Fitzpatrick adds an American puzzle to a growing and globalizing stream of research that has tackled the question of gender in political campaigns and in business (p. 5). Why have women been so disadvantaged relative to men as political leaders and top exec- utives, perhaps more so in the democratic market-oriented United States than almost anywhere else in the world? Scholars have begun to examine how women compete for the top executive jobs and the conditions under which they are successful. They have devised contemporary experiments using a variety of decision rules to understand how gender affects women’s and men’s participation in politics.
