A display (but can also be used as a resource) showing the many achievements of individual Medieval women. I have aimed to include women from around the world, for example from South America, Asia and the Middle East. I have also included women who are not well known, such as looking at Jeanne, who became a pirate during the Hundred Years War, rather than the more popular Joan of Arc. Each power point slide has images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual. The aim of this resource is to increase knowledge of the Medieval world and erase misconceptions of the role of women in history. The women included are: Khawla bint al-Azwar Wu Zetian Al-Khayzuran bint Atta Fatima Al-Fihri Aethelflaed Subh of Cordoba Murasaki Shikibu Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim Emma of Normandy Wallada bint al-mustakfi Hildegard von Bingen Moremi Ajasoro Margaret of Jerusalem Tomoe Gozen Khutulun Jeanne de Clisson Margaret I of Denmark Christine de Pisan Margaret Paston La Malinche

A display (but can also be used as a resource) showing the many achievements of individual modern women. I have aimed to include women from around the world, including from Europe, South America and Asia. I have also used women who are not often seen in the mainstream curriculum, for example sharing the biographies of the relatively unknown Sojourner Truth and Sarah Breedlove, rather than the more famous Rosa Parks. Each power point slide has images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual, with the aim of increasing awareness on some of the many achievements of women in history. The individuals included are: Manuela Saenz Kate Sheppard Mary Wollstonecroft Sirimavo Bandaranaike Wangari Maathai Ada Lovelace Indira Ghandi Ursula Kuczynski Sojourner Truth Emperor Cixi Valentina Tereshkova Shirin Abadi Edith Windsor Yoshioka Yayoi Evelyn Scott Ellen Johnson Jeanne Villepreux Rigoberta Menchu Tum Sarah Breedlove Nadia Murad

A display (but can also be used as a class resource) showing the achievements of individual ancient women.

Each power point slide includes images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual. The aim of this resource is to erase misconceptions of both ancient civilisations around the world and the role of women in history. The women included are: Enheduanna Hatshepsut Nefertiti Sammu-Ramat Naqia Gargi Vachaknavi Sappho Artemisia I of Caria Aspasia Artemisia II Zhuo Wenjun Arsinoe IV Livia Amanishahitu Cai Wenji Helena Hypatia of Alexandria Aelia Augusta Seondeok Lady K’abel

Specially made for Black History Month, these two lessons focus on 5 individuals who fought for the abolition of slavery, both in America and in Britain. A range of class activities allow pupils to be creative, discuss their views and develop their knowledge of abolitionists. These lessons also cover reasons why abolishing slavery was such a challenge and what might be done to end modern slavery. A piece of homework is also set at the end of the second lesson. As these lessons focus on the abolition of slavery, pupils should have at least some prior knowledge on the Atlantic slave trade and the abhorrent treatment slaves faced. I have also put a case study on Harriet Tubman on Tes for free, however it is not part of a complete lesson.

These individuals include: Olaudah Equiano Emmeline Pankhurst Marie Curie Alan Turing Jayaben Desai
