Let's Make Herstory

The Remedial Herstory Project is requesting your support to fund the production of a series of 15 minute videos (50 total) that will thematically tell diverse and dynamic women’s history, so often left out of history class. To guarantee widespread availability, the series would be released for free on YouTube and hosted on remedialherstory.com. 
As there are several video series available with content surrounding women's history, ours plans to present content in a new way around how those individual women fit into the traditional history we know, the patterns of women’s history, women’s movements, and women’s themes, keeping the history educator as a primary utilizer, making videos easy to incorporate into the K-12 curriculum.  Highlighting individual women can sometimes leave the audience with the perception that all women were behind the cause or efforts of that heroic woman, when in reality women were on both sides of most historic issues-- there is no single “women’s narrative.” We focus on women’s issues, themes, and movements such as the rights of women in various times and locations, women who ruled, led, and invented, the treatment of women in various religions, and the effect of movements in history on the rights and lives of women.

In the primary and secondary classrooms, we have an opportunity. We study history to see patterns in the past. We study history to inform our future. The Remedial Herstory Project believes that if we taught women’s history well, society would struggle less to allow women to be seen, heard, and multifaceted.
