Many of the contributions and achievements of women across time and cultures have been excluded from textbooks and curricula. However, we need to teach and learn about the numerous strong and courageous women who have changed history. When the contributions of females are ignored, they may feel invisible and diminished. It is essential to include women and girls in the study of people, places, and events. To be empowered, females need inspiration, role models, and encouragement. We know that young people admire and emulate influential heroes and heroines. The authors in this issue encourage us to celebrate women in history. They remind us of the need for an inclusive curriculum. They show us how to teach and learn about women's achievements while meeting the History-Social Science Standards. Many of the authors in this issue are contributing to the Social Studies Review for the first time, but they share a wealth of expertise, experience, and enthusiasm with their readers. This is a good time to consider some exciting new ideas and effective teaching strategies for our classrooms. Everyone needs opportunities to understand and appreciate the many remarkable achievements of women from the perspectives of women. Women do have a valuable history that is worth knowing.

Welcome to The Women's Legal History Website The Robert Crown Library Staff in collaboration with Professor Barbara Babcock and her students have created this website as a resource for all who are interested in the subject of women lawyers in the United States. Our main tool is biography, a study of the lives of the individual women lawyers, and the movements and philosophies that inspired and sustained them. The Women Lawyers Index The Women Lawyers Index is a list of all the women lawyers in our collection so far. By clicking on the name of a pioneer woman, you will find a list of what is here and links to that material. To see a sample of the kinds of material available, click on Belva Lockwood in the Index, and note the various chapters and articles linked there. Clara Shortridge Foltz The project started with a single biography - that of Clara Shortridge Foltz, the first woman lawyer in California. In the course of writing her life, Foltz's biographer, Professor Barbara Babcock, has compiled a wealth of information about her subject and the times in which she lived, and most particularly, the other women lawyers she knew. Therefore, an entire section of the website is devoted to Ms. Foltz and consists of her publications in the course of the biography-in-progress.
