- Women’s history is American history. So why isn’t it taught in Vermont schools?
A Vermont high school student founded Her Education Required in 2025 to advocate for integrating women's history into U.S. social studies curricula. Vermont schools currently lack state requirements to teach women's suffrage, despite the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The organization has expanded to schools nationwide and internationally.
