Infoplease Women's History Month - This site offers a vast array of resources, however you probably shouldn't visit the site while your child is nearby. Some of the topics are not ones that I would consider appropriate for my children. I recommend the site nonetheless because it does provide you with many valuable resources from which to choose. This site is useful, it just requires some discernment. The resources are listed by topic area and the site provides a special list of "Especially For Kids" options. You can select from several quizzes and crosswords, view images of famous women and statues comemorating their achievements, and study statistics about women. The site also offers links to prize winning women, quotations by women, women who excelled in particular fields of study and much more. Note- This is an advertiser supported site so you will see Google and other ads. I was able to navigate the main page of site without authorizing the pop-ups. But once I clicked through to a selected source, a motion ad did appear at the top of my screen.
