Over the last four decades, women's history has developed from a
new and marginal approach to history to an established and
flourishing area of the discipline taught in all history
departments.
Clio in the Classroom makes accessible the content, key themes and
concepts, and pedagogical techniques of U.S. women's history for
all secondary school and college teachers. Editors Carol Berkin,
Margaret S. Crocco, and Barbara Winslow have brought together a
diverse group of educators to provide information and tools for
those who are constructing a new syllabus or revitalizing an
existing one. The essays in this volume provide concise, up-to-date
overviews of American women's history from colonial times to the
present that include its ethnic, racial, and regional changes. They
look at conceptual frameworks key to understanding women's history
and American history, such as sexuality, citizenship, consumerism,
and religion. And they offer concrete approaches for the classroom,
including the use of oral history, visual resources, material
culture, and group learning. The volume also features a guide to
print and digital resources for further information.
This is an invaluable guide for women and men preparing to
incorporate the study of women into their classes, as well as for
those seeking fresh perspectives for their teaching.
