Students will discover and analyze the contributions that women made to their community, nation, or the world.  They will examine the lives and challenges of each woman, and understand the contribution each made within the context of the era in which they lived and the cultural/political climate of that time.  

I have an extensive background and education covering sensitive content like the atrocities committed during the Holocaust, as well as other genocides, and will handle any similarly sensitive topics without including graphic descriptions or images, and only teaching that which is relevant to the historical contest and contribution of the woman being studied. 
Emphasis will be placed upon how they overcame their challenges. 
As a National Board Certified Teacher who has been teaching this and similar content for nearly 20 years, I realize that it is important to provide students with a balanced perspective of each woman.  Sometimes that includes the "bad and ugly" along with the good and inspirational.  These conversations will be held when necessary, and covered in an age appropriate, historic manner.
