Printable Resources for Women's History Month


Did you know March is officially Women's History Month? Have you been looking for resources to use in your classroom/lessons? Here are a few printable packets with reading passages that feature amazing women throughout world history. 

Teach and inspire at the same time!


Women in World History 
from Multicultural Kid Blogs

I contributed to this really comprehensive packet by MKB that features 20 women in world history. There are reading passages, reading comprehension questions, and lots of worksheets to boost reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. Take a look at some of the pages here. 
You can also find this packet in their TpT shop.


10 Latinas in History Reading Comprehension Passages

It features 10 amazing women who have had an impact on world history: Ellen Ochoa, Isabel Allende, Dara Torres, Frida Kahlo, Linda Ronstadt, Dolores Huerta, Sonia Sotomayor, Carolina Herrera, Rita Moreno, and Sor Juana de la Cruz. I've also included reading comprehension worksheets that focus on facts and vocabulary from the passages, a matching activity, dictionary reference, and complete the sentence. 



Introduce your students to women in world history with this fun packet! These fact files may be used as individual bookmarks or as a fandex. It features 18 historical figures. Sorry, this one is only available in English. (I just haven't had time to translate it yet!)




Introduce your students to Dolores Huerta with this easy, no-prep, printable poster and glossary!



Same type of packet, but featuring the young activist for girls' education, Malala Yousafzai. 



And this one features Susan B. Anthony!



Last (and probably my favorite!) is this brief history of the Adelitas - or soldaderas - of Mexico. Learn who they were and why they are an important part of the history of the Mexican Revolution. This informational text is written for students in 4th - 8th grade. It includes an 8-question comprehension quiz plus answer key.
