Compare and contrast the roles of women in urban and rural areas within the country. In United States history, focus not only on the notable token women but also on the unsung heroines who went into the offices with the invention of the typewriter and on how business changed as a result of this expansion of the workforce. When teaching about Dorothea Dix's crusade for more humane treatment of the mentally ill, research the conditions under which the mentally ill were kept. When teaching of Margaret Sanger's work in disseminating birth control information, teach about the poor with whom she worked and the misery of poverty for the large immigrant families she attended. But do not forget the masses of ordinary women who sustain and improve society in the workforce, in the struggle for equality under the law, in the family as parents, and in various other ways.
