Notable American Women: The Case of United States History Textbooks.
Tetreault, Mary Kay
Social Education, v48 n7 p546-50 Nov-Dec 1984
A content analysis of secondary U.S. history textbooks revealed that texts do include discussions of women. However, the emphasis is usually on female contributions that are an extension of women's nurturing role within the family or that are supportive of male activities. Eleanor Roosevelt is the most featured woman. (RM)
