As a support to all of the interesting information shared in class about important women during this time period and various child labor issues as well, I'd like to post a few websites to supplement class study:
http://www.wic.org/misc/history.htm - women's rights and roles
http://www.connerprairie.org/historyonline/1880wom.html -women's rights and roles
http://www.connerprairie.org/HistoryOnline/womrole.html -women's rights and roles
http://www.wsu.edu/~amerstu/19th/hist.html - there is a lot of information here
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/IRchild.main.htm - child labor issues
http://lcweb2.loc.gov/learn/lessons/98/labor/resource.html - child labor in America
If you read anything that you think is interesting or surprising, don't hesitate to post it to this blog.

Alexis, I'm so glad you found the lesson valuable. That is always my goal. It is amazing what we take for granted some times and just a little bit of the history makes us appreciate where we are that much more!
