Women's Herstory Book Shelf created by Wendy Scott

In this interdisciplinary curriculum guide, portraits from the National Portrait Gallery’s exhibition "Out of Many: Portraits from 1600 to 1900" are used as entry points to teach about the history of women in the United States from the colonial period to the dawn of the twentieth century.
