Women's History:  In 2014, on the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in Montana, the Montana Historical Society created the Women's History Matters website.  We recommend that you browse through the more than 100 essays on that page and the bibliographies that accompany them.  You will find information about women and women's groups who faced conflict in their efforts to participate fully in their communities, the state, and the region--and responded with both strong actions and skilled compromise.  You will be able to learn about the skills and strategies they employed as they took positions and defended them: using words, examples, research, politics and much more.  The WHM website really is one of the richest sources of Montana topics and ideas that you'll find as you explore "Conflict and Compromise in History."
