New Mexico introduces curriculum to honor women’s contributions
The New Mexico Historic Women’s Marker Program is introducing a K-12 curriculum to bring the stories of women who have significantly contributed to the state’s history into classrooms across New Mexico.
“It’s not only the women that one would know, like Georgia O’Keeffe, but it’s other people who have made changes within their community,” said Karen Abraham, a member of the program’s steering committee.
