The Michigan State University Office of K-12 Outreach has announced a free educational guide in honor of Women’s History Month full of resources to learn about and be empowered by women in history.

The guide includes a timeline for how commemorations transitioned from a single International Women’s Day (March 8, 2022) to the currently understood Women’s History Month, links to YouTube videos and a literature review.

“This document was a labor of love, and everyone can find something in its resources,” said Irma Hamilton, an outreach specialist with the Office of K-12 Outreach. Hamilton, who calls education her “calling” and has experience as both an educator and an administrator, led the creation of the document with a team of several others.

Sections include highlights of women in history from across cultural contexts and women from various professional backgrounds. While the primary focus for creating the document was for use in K-12 classrooms, Hamilton hopes those from all walks of life — including caregivers, men and young children — can be inspired by the stories they find in its pages.
