Average rating:4.8Number of reviews:(81)
Shed some light on the darker side of history as we look at American and European history through a feminist lens. Analyze and discuss historical women that have been misunderstood for too long or add detail to stories you already know.
Class experience
There are many things we've been told about women in history. Marie Antoinette was a spoiled princess. Mary Tudor was a crazed tyrant. What if there were more to their stories? What is being left unsaid? In this course, we'll explore the legacies of these infamous women and decide for ourselves if they deserve their bad reputations.

I have taught several successful Outschool classes on historical figures such as the Tudor and Romanov families.
Learners will need to access Nearpod during class. This can be done in a separate tab on a computer or with a second device such as a tablet or phone.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Many of the women we will discuss were directly involved in violent historical events. For example, Marie Antoinette was tortured and eventually beheaded. Mary Tudor ordered many people to be burned at the stake. Catherine the Great had multiple extra-marital affairs and the paternity of her children is questioned.

Please reach out to me with any specific concerns.
