What every girl should know by Margaret Sanger, 1913 (Book)
Teachers should look at the table of contents of this books before sharing it with students - but then absolutely sharing it with students. Students who know one or two factoids about Margaret Sanger have no idea what she actually did - looking at this book will shatter that ignorance in a matter of minutes. They should also know that the book was seized by the post office as a violation of the Comstock Law - https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/what-every-girl-should-know-1916-margaret-sanger

Independent Lens . KING CORN | PBS
This bookmark is not so much to recognize the value of this source, but rather the subject of the film itself. There is room for a Progressive Era lesson that traces the policies of the Progressive Era (Pure Food and Durg Act, Meat Inspection Act) in which students wrestle with the interest and role of the government in the health of citizens and the Agricultural Act of 1973, in which corn subsidies can be linked to a change in American diets that emphasize corn syrup sweeteners and obesity. Is there a link here?

Upton Sinclair - The Jungle
Upton Sinclair - The Jungle
Sinclair wrote the novel to highlight the plight of the working class and to show the corruption of the American meatpacking industry during the early-20th century. The novel depicts in harsh tones poverty, absence of social programs, unpleasant living and working conditions, and hopelessness prevalent among the working class, which is contrasted with the deeply-rooted corruption on the part of those in power.

The Emma Goldman Papers
The Emma Goldman Papers
Emma Goldman (1869–1940) stands as a major figure in the history of American radicalism and feminism. An influential and well-known anarchist of her day, Goldman was an early advocate of free speech, birth control, women's equality and independence, and union organization. Her criticism of mandatory conscription of young men into the military during World War I led to a two-year imprisonment, followed by her deportation in 1919. For the rest of her life until her death in 1940, she continued to participate in the social and political movements of her age, from the Russian Revolution to the Spanish Civil War.
