Women's History Month

More than half a dozen government cultural agencies, including the Library of Congress, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum have contributed to this website celebrating Women's History Month. The theme for 2009 is "Women's commitment to the environment", but this website also has information on influential women in all areas. Visitors can read more about the current theme by clicking on the link "Women Taking the Lead to Save our Planet" on the far right side of the page, near the top. Once there, click on the big square logo to learn more about this year's theme, and its honorees. Back on the homepage, visitors can link to "Exhibits & Collections", using the menu on the far left side of the page. Some of the categories to view are "First-Person Accounts", "Politics", and "Women and War". In the link to "Audio/Video", also located in the menu on the far left side of the page, visitors will find a variety of authors discussing their books, as well as other podcasts, webcasts, and readings from the annual National Book Festival. Moving on, in the "For Teachers" link, in the left side menu, visitors will find lesson plans, student activities and research aids, all incorporating primary sources from Library of Congress, National Archives, National Gallery of Art, and the National Park Service.
