The Smithsonian Institution launched the American Women’s History Initiative—Because of Her Story—in 2018. The initiative is one of the country’s most ambitious undertakings to research, collect, document, display, and share the compelling story of women and those that identify as women.
This is a collection of a booklet (in English and Spanish), foldout poster, detachable bookmark, and templates for educators to make their own Smithsonian Learning Lab presentations. All meant to educate and engage Washington D.C. and Los Angeles school children about important women figures in American History.
37,000+ copies were made of these booklets and posters, full of hands-on activities, critical thinking exercises, and Smithsonian museum items and photos to help these women's stories and accomplishments live on.
