See the detailed Historical Reflection directions for information about requirements and scoring rubric. For Part I, identify and explain three significant statements, or “gold nuggets” from this week’s historical sources.
Part II:
For Part II, prepare a three-paragraph response to this key question:
Based upon the evidence examined this week, did WW II unleash permanent liberating changes for women, or did the post-war period bring about a loss of war-time gains and opportunities? Consider our nation’s diverse population of women as you develop a three-paragraph response.
Support your interpretation with specific evidence from this week’s historical sources. Do not include evidence from additional sites and resources not included in this week’s resources. Keep quoted content to less than 20% of your response. Prepare a minimum of three paragraphs responding to this question. (Keep in mind that paragraphs generally consist of five to seven sentences).
