March is Women's History Month, an especially appropriate time
for you and your children to visit several websites that explore
the dynamic roles that women have played in the past and
continue to play in contemporary American society. The National
Women's Hall of Fame located in Seneca Falls, New York, has an
excellent website featuring photographs and biographies of its
members. This collection of phenomenal women grows as each year
new faces join the Hall of Fame. This year's inductees included
environmentalist Marjorie Douglas, ACLU co-founder Crystal
Eastman, 1st female Attorney General Janet Reno, and novelist
Eudora Welty, to name a few. The site also has an extensive
online bookstore with books written by and about the women in
the Hall for those who want to learn more about a particular
individual. Another online collection of biographies of
intriguing women can be found on the Encyclopedia Britannica's
Women in American History website. Timelines on the site show
turning points for women in America,
