REVIEW:
Women and Social Movements in the United States, 1830-1930 is series of research projects completed by students at the State University of New York at Binghamton. This is an excellent teaching resource to supplement the U.S. history curriculum. Each project includes a research question, introduction with background, bibliography, list of related Web sites, and 15 to 20 primary documents. This site is an outstanding reference for anyone interested in women's studies. History teachers, especially, will want to add this to their list of most valuable sites.
