See It To Be It: The Power of HERstory
--:--
“If we want our girls to benefit from the courage and wisdom of the women before them, we have to share the stories.” — Shireen Dodson
Where are the women in our history curricula? Just how underrepresented and marginalized are women in history books? Why is it important to be aware of who’s writing our history and the impact that may have on girls and boys alike?
In this episode of PEP Talks: Podcast on Educational Possibilities, host Olivia Haas, Director of Strategic Communications & Media at NCGS, questions the importance of HERstory—women’s stories—in history curricula—not just in girls’ school, but across all sectors of education. It’s equally as important for boys to also see accomplished women in history in order to be aware women were an integral force in shaping our world.
Olivia is joined, by featured guests, Lori Ann Terjesen, Director of Education for the National Women’s History Museum, and Charlotte Mangin, Creator, Executive Producer, and Director of UNLADYLIKE2020, a PBS documentary series profiling unsung women.
If you believe in the power of HERstory, and why girls need to see it to be it, then this podcast is for you.
