Students' Guide to the Site

  • Quizzes enable you to test your knowledge of the material in every chapter. Answer multiple-choice and essay questions to find out which key facts and ideas you've mastered and which you need to review. Page references to the relevant material in the textbook are provided with all multiple-choice questions. Your instructor may ask you to e-mail him or her your results, or you may be able to use these quizzes to prepare for in-class exams.
  • American Women's History on the Web exercises enable you to explore resources related to women's history available on the Internet. Each exercise offers several links to sites that focus on a specific topic. You can, for example, go on trial for witchcraft (Chapter 1), read letters between Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony (Chapter 4), and learn about women in politics in your hometown (Chapter 11). Questions follow, asking you to think critically about the information you've gathered from the sites you've visited. Your instructor may assign these exercises and require you to write a short paper based on your research. On your own, you can use them to study or to supplement research for other projects you've been assigned. Before you begin, be sure to read the Guide to Electronic Research.
  • A database of Primary Sources, organized chronologically, is also available. To learn more about the raw materials of history, link to over 300 historical documents and images, including pages of Martha Ballard's diary (Chapter 2) and photographs of women in the Civil Rights Movement (Chapter 10). Your instructor may ask you to examine various documents and write your own interpretation of them. You can also use the documents on your own in conducting research for a paper or in preparing a presentation.
  • For a visual record of American women's history, visit the Image Gallery. A selection of photographs, posters, cartoons, charts, and graphs adds another dimension to your study of women's history.
