To mark International Women's Day on March 8,
this is for Social Studies and Modern History
teachers. Those who help women plan careers may
find it informative also. Bear in mind that it's
another "controversial Nugget" and probably not
in your standard curriculum.

THE ECONOMIC EDUCATION NEWSLETTER
is an online educational resource for teachers and students
provided by the Baltimore Office, Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond. The newsletter offers financial literacy and economic
education web site information, lesson plans, articles, and other
resource topics. Information about high school and college
contests, teachers' workshops and other educational programs
conducted by the Fed is also provided. If you would like to view
previous issues or subscribe, please visit:

AMAN is a Jordan-based organization supporting
the rights of women in the Arab and Muslim
world. "Our goals are to maintain a comprehensive
collection of materials including books, videos,
films, newsletters, periodicals...with an emphasis
on making materials available on-line through the
project website."
For the classroom, the benefit of this site is
its list of recent news stories from those regions
about the status of women and girls. It's a view
from inside, unfiltered by Western journalism.
It seems to cover both sides of women's issues,
and the written English is of high quality. Your
students should find project material here that is
readily accessible at their level. It might also
provide a bridge for your immigrant students from
those regions to share their perspectives with the
class.
Did you know, for instance, that Iranian women just
this year have been allowed into soccer stadiums to
watch games? Their attendance was against the law
until 2003, and only those who have male relatives
playing in the game can attend at the moment, but
it's hailed as another small entry for women into
society at large.
This website is sponsored by the Sisterhood Is Global
Institute/Jordan, and carries no advertising. You
may find, as I did, that you tend to receive a lot
of advocacy emails (spam) from AMAN if you send an
email to this site.
