Using Images of Women in American History
Bennett, Linda B.; Williams, Frances Janeene
Social Studies and the Young Learner, v26 n3 p15-18 Jan-Feb 2014

The use of carefully and purposefully selected images in the classroom can address both the lack of images of women in textbooks as well as the stereotypical portrayal of woman in textbook images.
