Women's history:
What were the women doing?
What were their lives like?
Studying women's history does not have to be completely serious and dull. In fact, many of us love the field because we find it so interesting!
So here's a challenge: think about what's so interesting or important about women's history, and instead of writing a long essay about it -- write it in haiku form! See the opening lines of this page for an example. Then share your haiku here.
Haiku is a form of poetry that need not rhyme, usually with three lines of five, seven and five syllables. See more:
