About this episode
Send a textThroughout history, including during the American Civil War, women had and made choices. We can't tell stories by downplaying women in our complicated and messy history. Using women of the Civil War, as a vehicle, Tracy Garrison Feinberg and I discuss empowerment, agency, and purpose. Women's drive to improve society in many ways gives them power, and there is no boilerplate woman! There is no single story that tells the entirety of the experiences and impact of women in history, and each one somehow turned the tide of history, even those whose names we don't know.Join us for this important conversation!Links:Women and the American Story Lifestory: Suzie Baker King TaylorWomen and the American Story Curriculum: A Nation DividedPrevious Teaching History Her Way Podcast Episode: Women Civil War Soldiers and Gender ExpressionLet's be Friends!Instagram: @teachinghistoryherwayTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/historyherwayOn the Web/Blog: http://www.teachinghistoryherway.comFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/teachinghistoryherwayLove the Teaching History Her Way Podcast?
