Historical Timeline

This timeline, divided into six periods, contains information on the major political and social eras of each period, the roles of women, important female figures and advancements for women, and a listing of common historical figures and events. This is the class project from previous classes. It has already taken many forms, including a basic paper version and a quilt. This year we add to its legacy with an online version.
