Herstory or History?


Think of a time in the past. Try to imagine how women and men may have seen things differently. Draw a cartoon called Herstory and draw another one called History. Show the different ways the man and the woman saw things. Write their thoughts or what they say above each character:

  • Show how a man on Columbus's ship and a First Nations woman in America might think differently about Columbus coming to America.
  • Show what a pioneer woman and man might be thinking when she finds out she is pregnant for the fourth time.
  • Show what men and women may have thought when women got the vote.
