March is Women's History Month - Where to start?

A little change of pace today - I thought I might share some internet resources to highlight many famous women this month, rather than just one.  So for all of you looking for something to do with your young people on a Friday in March ............... here we go ......................
Start with an internet scavenger hunt from Education World to learn the names of over 20 women of note, then there is the National Women's History Project to check out, then take a look at Distinguished Women Past and Present. This site features over 5000 links to over 1800 women. Here's your webquest and quiz for today - do you know anything about Sarah Caldwell, Phillis Wheatley, Queen Liluokulani or Coco Chanel? Well, now you do!  While you are searching, check out The State of Women in the World Atlas by Joni Seager. Share with a friend and both of you will have gained important historical and social knowledge!
