Multicultural Initiatives: Women's History

What's this blog about?

I teach several courses under the broad topic of "Multicultural Education," prioritizing social justice issues of access, power/privilege, & narrowing the academic achievement gap. I am a person of color and I almost always have a white co-teacher. We include topics, such as: racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, deculturalization, transforming curriculum, etc. This is a place where I post information that we teach; lesson plans for activities; and resources we use and/or which are shared with me by my adult students.

Women's History

“One person incredibly committed to one issue, who won’t stop until change occurs.”
In 2012, three young women created a documentary about Alice Paul for a school project. Joyce Wang, Olivia Hu and Ingrid Ma decided to focus on women’s suffrage and the result is a fantastic ten-minute video chronicling Alice Paul’s fight for equality.

It’s a wonderful way to learn about the struggles and triumphs women have endured for the right to vote; a right that should have belonged to women from the beginning.
