Teaching with KWSP

This page contains resources for English, Humanities, and Social Studies teachers who are teaching the Woman Suffrage Movement.  The resources relate to both the national movement as well as the movement in Kentucky.  These materials were first developed for the 2017 KEA TALK Conference (June 12-13) by Dr. Joanna Lile of Transylvania University in Lexington and Ms. Sariena Sampson of Doss High School in Louisville.
