Two texts anchor a 14-lesson unit that explores what it means to be a woman in America. In her "An Address by Elizabeth Cady Stanton" Stanton argues for women's right to vote. Audre Lorde offers a different point of view in her poem, " From the House of Yemanja." These works offer students an opportunity to continue to develop their ability to analyze text and practice their writing skills. The end-of-unit assessment is a multi-paragraph essay.
