Women's History Month
To celebrate Women's History Month, explore the Medal Mania page and share the collection of Congressional gold medals that have been awarded to various women in recognition of their service, contributions, and accomplishments.
Be sure to also take your students back to the year 1917 with the Time Machine. Your students will see life during World War I and the Suffrage Era and understand more about a time when women in the United States were struggling for their right to vote.
