Reference Librarian Joe Niese reminded me the other day that March is National Women's History Month, a time of year when we remember that for every Lewis and Clark there is a Sacajawea and that for every Joe Hill, there is a Mother Jones.
Below are some links that might help you get to know the history of the American woman a little bit better.
Womenshistorymonth.gov--the Women's history section of the Library of Congress. Information-packed, media-filled and simply excellent. As far as the Internet goes, it's hard to find a better one-stop shop.
Women's History in Wisconsin--packed with information that spider-webs off in many directions. Original documents, full-text books, some of which I have looked at and recommend highly.
New York Public Library's Women's History Page--Huge, interesting and complete with audio and video. Authoritative and well-organized.
