  1. These are such fun and lovely graphics for Women's History Month. I am stumped on who is pictured in Observe (Sylvia Plath?) and also Lead... Hmmm...any hints?

  2. Thanks so much; I'm so glad you like them!

    Here are some hints: the woman pictured in "Observe" spent much of her time in isolation observing some very intelligent primates. The woman under the heading "Lead" was a civil rights activist and the first African American woman elected to the Texas Senate. Let me know if you need more hints... ;)

  4. Thank you for these wonderful images and discussion points! We used these images to develop a brief lesson plan, and also used the collage to make a downloadable PDF for teachers to print as a poster in their classrooms! We linked to your blog numerous times and the poster has your url on it as well. If you're interested, tjhe posting of the lesson is here: http://info.variquest.com/infovariquestcom/blogvariquestcom/womens-history-month-biography-lesson-3-12

    1. Here's a hint...

      After the woman pictured in "teach" married and left the classroom, she and her husband Almanzo had one daughter, Rose. As an adult, Rose would help her mother write a series of books about her childhood.

  11. I'm excited to use these as part of a display for Women's History Month at our library. I want to do a game or contest where people have to guess who all the women are. One problem: I can't figure out who the woman on the "speak" poster is? Emily Dickinson? Charlotte Bronte?I give up!

    1. Here are some hints: she fought for a change to the constitution but died fourteen years before that change was realized. Also, she was arrested in 1872 for something I do every four years. :)
