ABOUT

Empowering women through education.

Mission

"Women are half of humanity; they should be half the content in history."

-Kelsie Brook Eckert

The Remedial Herstory Project is a New Hampshire based international nonprofit founded and led by women educators and advocates under the advisement of women's historians and college professors working to get women's history into the primary and secondary curriculum, as well as our cultural competence.

 

The Remedial Herstory Project is a tax exempt 501c3.

The RHP is dedicated to developing and providing inquiry-based learning materials on women’s history free to educators. In support of its mission, the RHP produces media, provides resources, and professional development in history for educators.

Doing Homework

Our Why

"When you hear a story from the past that doesn’t include women, you have to literally break your brain and ask yourself wait where are the women?" -Brooke Neva Sullivan

Dive into the rich tapestry of women's history with The Remedial Herstory Project. Our workshops and educational resources are designed to bring to light the often overlooked contributions of women throughout history. 

The history curriculum in schools is insufficient in their representation of women’s contribution to past events. This website aims to address that. While teachers want to include women’s history, they have not had access to the training, modeling, and resources to do it effectively. Women make up fifty percent of the global population, and yet are in a small fraction of events discussed in school. Women’s choices have been harrowing, infamous, and monumental, and yet their stories are so rarely associated with mainstream history. 

We study history to learn from our past. Girls have been denied the opportunity to fully learn about women’s struggles and triumphs in schools. 

Scholars

Dozens of scholars have contributed to the work of the Remedial Herstory Project by speaking on our podcast or at our Institutes, or by reviewing our textbooks and inquiries. Thank you.
