“Women’s HERstory Month”                 name ________________________

                                                                        Date due: March 30 (at the latest)

"The history of all times, and of today especially, teaches that... women will be forgotten if they forget to think about themselves." 
~ Louise Otto-Peters

History books throughout time have minimized - or overlooked - the importance of women in society. It is time we bring women into the limelight. Use any of these sites (Women's History Month) to learn more about the accomplishments of women. Write one or two paragraphs about a woman who influenced our culture--or made a difference in the world. Since March is also "Youth Art Month" -- you may want to select a woman artist to learn more about. 

Your research will be used to create a game for students to learn more about the History of Women. Since this is an art class assignment, I would prefer you do a woman artist--but you may do any woman. Include when they lived and where--what they accomplished and why you admire them (What positive character traits do they exhibit?)

Paragraph(s) MUST include:

WHO she is/was

WHAT she accomplished

WHERE she lived and WHEN

And WHY you admire her

You must include your URL (Web page address --- book information if not done on the Internet)

BONUS: Include URL address where I can find a picture of this woman (photocopy of portrait if not done on Internet).
