  1. WOMEN IN HISTORY By: Erica Shimboff Third Grade Presentation

  2. The Beginning • There was a time in history when women did not have the same position as they do today

  3. The Efforts • Many women throughout history have made it possible to get to where we are today. We will be covering only a few important women today, but we will study many more throughout this month – Women in History Month.

  4. Suffrage • A big part of where we are today has to do with women’s suffrage. Suffrage has to do with women’s right to vote. • Up until the last century women were not allowed to vote. • There were several women in the late 1800’s that made women’s suffrage their life’s greatest mission. • One such women, was Carrie Chapman Catt.

  5. Carrie Chapman Catt • Carrie Chapman Catt went to Iowa State University. After a short time as a high school principal she became a superintendent of schools (one of the first women to hold such a position).

  6. Carrie Chapman Catt Cont… • Catt dedicated herself to the Iowa Women’s Suffrage Association, and in 1900 was elected president to the National American Women’s Association. • She was an amazing president and a powerful speaker. • She is honored as one of the most outstanding women of her time. • Carrie Chapman Catt – Speech Excerpt

  7. Stepping Up To The Plate • Women’s journey to equality (being seen as the equal/same) took a long time. • However, there was one important time in history that women had to quickly come to fill the shoes of being equal to men. • Wartime Efforts of Women • Filling The Entertainment Void

  8. Eleanor Roosevelt • The clip you just saw about women in the war was being spoken by Eleanor Roosevelt. • It is almost impossible to cover important women in history without at least mentioning Eleanor Roosevelt.

  9. Eleanor Roosevelt Cont… • Eleanor was married to wartime president Theodore Roosevelt. • With President Roosevelt’s physical condition, this First Lady served as his “eyes and ears” for 12 Years. • She had a compassionate interest in the welfare of people, and sought after equal rights.

  10. Equal Rights To All • Equal rights did not only apply to women • There were several forms of inequality (not being seen as equal/same) among races as well. • African Americans, which we studied last month (Black History Month), had many struggles, and also had many women who made bridges to cross these struggles. • One such women was Harriet Tubman.

  11. Harriet Tubman • Harriet Tubman was not only an amazing contributor to the freedom of slaves, but she was also an amazing woman of history. • Tubman used a freedom route called the Underground Railroad. She lead some 300 slaves to freedom along 19 different routes to Maryland.

  12. Harriet Tubman Cont… • After the Civil War, Harriet settled in Maryland. • She found it common practice later in life to take in old people and orphans. • She was truly a great woman. • Harriet Tubman Information • Harriet Tubman Quiz • Harriet Tubman Crossword Puzzles

  13. Coming Up… • We learned about just a few of the amazing women that should be remembered from our history. • Tomorrow we will learn about Helen Keller, Pocahontas, and Amelia Earhart.
