In this lesson, students will discuss the women’s suffrage movement in the United States as it relates to equality, rights and responsibilities. They will also listen to the oral history of Dr. Rosamonde Boyd, who attended college during the suffrage movement, and advocated women’s equality throughout her life. Her perspective indicates the way women view themselves, each other, and their roles in society.
