Two new titles on the Great Depression and Women’s
Suffrage have been added to Uncovering the Past. This
remarkable series which looks at how evidence from the
past, such as historical documents, eye-witness accounts,
newspaper articles, and photographs, is used to describe
historical events and is constantly reexamined over time.
The series looks at well-known and well-documented
events in history and gives insight into: why evidence
is created and by whom; how it can be analyzed and
interpreted in various ways; and how controversies in
history can develop. Readers will learn the difference
between primary and secondary evidence, and see
how both are used to describe what happened in the
past, who was involved, and what the outcome was.
Readers will learn about bias, prejudice, and the denial
of evidence, and learn how to use critical thinking in their
own examinations. The series also looks at present-day
examples of similar events and discusses how evidence
shows that history repeats itself.

Black Tuesday and the Great Depression
by Natalie Hyde
Black Tuesday and the Great Depression explores the

October 29, 1929, known as Black Tuesday, were felt not
only in North America, but worldwide. Source material,
including posters, political cartoons, books, interviews,
and articles show the devastation of the resulting mass
unemployment, epidemic real estate foreclosures, and
crushing poverty of those years.

Women’s Suffrage
by Lynn Peppas
Women’s Suffrage examines the evidence of the fight for
women’s equality, from the mid-1800s in North America to the
global struggles that continue today. Past struggles of the equal
rights movement are uncovered with primary source documents
and photos that bring key figures such as Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Margaret Gordon,
and Nellie McClung to life. Different perspectives are featured
including Anti-Suffrage forces to help readers develop critical
thinking skills, which supports Common Core State Standards.
