As part of our upcoming homeschool group's classes, I've decided to teach a course on influential women in history titled Missionaries, Martyrs and Mothers: Influential Women in History from a Christian Perspective, geared towards girls ages 12 and up. The course will cover influential women in the church, in American and world history, and in the arts. I'd like your input, please, if you'd be so kind.
Which women do you think should be covered and why? Which women should be avoided and why? Are there women in history who you feel have undeservedly received a bad rap? Are there women you feel have been greatly overlooked? Would you cover the roots of feminism? Would you avoid it like the plague? Would you discuss women like Susan B. Anthony, who was decidedly pro-life? Would you discuss women like Margaret Sanger, who was a birth-control advocate and Planned Parenthood founder? If so, how would you cover them?
Any other tips and thoughts would be appreciated.
