About the Resource

Key ideas from the unit:
"1. Eighteenth-century women were active and engaged participants in every aspect of colonial and revolutionary life.
2. The experiences of women in the eighteenth century varied widely based on race, class, age, gender identity, and geographic region.
3. The full history of the North American colonies and the American Revolution cannot be properly understood without considering the perspectives, experiences, and contributions of women."
As with all WAMS unit plans, "each resource includes background information and vocabulary lists to provide context. Resources also include suggested activities and how to combine different resources on a certain topic. You can easily integrate these materials into current lesson plans or structure new lessons around them. Many resources in this unit allow you to teach historical themes and topics in your curriculum by including the perspective of women in this era."
