Parent Guide > Am I Not A Woman And A Sister?
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Am I Not A Woman And A Sister?" by Elizabeth Crawford (adaptation of original text).
Despite not having a political voice, women made significant efforts during the anti-slavery campaign.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Gender Roles, Resilience & Success, and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do we define the roles of men and women?", "How does a person overcome adversity?", and "How do people create change?"
