SUNDAY SESSIONS
Teaching Women’s History in the U.S. History
Survey Course
Solicited by the College Board and OAH Committee on Teaching
#oah16_74
At both the higher ed and high school levels, new efforts are
underway to integrate scholarly research on women’s history into
the U.S. history survey course. In addition, the College Board’s
revisions to the Advanced Placement United States History course
and exam include an increased focus on the role of women’s history.
In this session, the two presenters, both members of the College
Board’s AP U.S. History Development Committee, will explain the
rationale behind the changes and discuss how they approach
women’s history in their courses. The session will include discussion
of scholarly and primary sources related to women’s history, with
particular attention paid to the long fight for the 19th Amendment
as well as the continuing issues surrounding women’s political
participation.

• Maria Montoya, New York University
• Mary Lopez, Schaumburg IL High School
