Lesson Plan: From Women’s Suffrage to the ERA
Grades 9-12
Throughout the 1960’s and 70’s the second wave feminism movement worked to address gender inequality across the United States. While the movement had several important victories, the Equal Rights Amendment was not passed. Was the second wave feminist movement a success nonetheless? Students will examine the history of the E.R.A., develop a claim, and use evidence gathered from a variety of sources to support their answer.
**This lesson would best fit toward the end of a larger unit on social movements and the second wave feminist movement**
