kailuamom Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I know it is fairly easy to find books about the famous men of ancient times or the Middle Ages/Renaissance, but do any of you have suggestions on good resources for learning about women of those times? I can see how their may be fewer in the ancient era, but the Middle Ages & Renaissance had its fair share of women leaders, etc. Are there any good compilations out there? Other than SOTW? Age level @ 10 - 12? TIA! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Yes, and I believe the SOTW activity guide recommends quite a few of them. Milton Meltzer's Ten Queens; Her Story; Lives of Extraordinary Women, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
