Women’s Rights National
Historical Park - The National Park Service provides this informative
site that commemorates women’s struggle for equality. The Seneca Falls
Convention and the leading figures of the Women’s Rights movement are profiled,
including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Lucretia Mott. There is
also a section on related events, linking the women’s movement to the abolition
and temperance movements.
Not For Ourselves Alone
- PBS has produced an outstanding website as a companion to Ken Burns’
documentary on Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. The site contains a
timeline-based history of the Women’s Rights movement from the American
Revolution to the 19th Amendment, complete with primary sources and images of
the times. Students may be interested in visiting the Where Are We Now?
section, where the current status of women is discussed (including an on-line
dialogue).
