RHP is a nonprofit working to get women's history into the primary and secondary classroom curriculum, as well as our cultural competence. Studies show that teachers teach women's history between 5% and 20% of the time, with 5% being the plurality. The need for women's history is urgent-- as our understanding of our history and society is missing the stories of half the population. Check out our About page and our TEDx Talk for more!

“It is flagrantly unjust to keep women out, by whatever unconscious means we do so; and we simply cannot afford to do without women’s expertise… If that means fewer men get into the legislature as it must do – social change always has its losers as well as its winners – I am happy to look those men in the eye.“ –Mary Beard, Women and Power, p.86. |
“Although standards are standards, in reality, they're all pretty vague. How you interpret these standards and what you decide to include and exclude is a powerful political choice. And I ask you to exercise that agency and not shy away from issues critical to women's humanity.” --Alex Cuenca, Board Member for NCSS at the "Where are the Women? Summit" |
“One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world.” –Malala Yousafza
