It's #InternationalWomensDay! Today is a day to commemorate and to celebrate women’s achievements but also to think about what more still can be done. Women remain underrepresented across school History curricula leading to enduring and potentially harmful misinterpretations of the past. #IWD2026

Eagerly awaiting the launch of Labour’s plan to tackle the national emergency of violence against women and girls next week.
It’s looking like there will be a focus on prevention, boys and the school curriculum. However we fear a gender balanced curriculum will be overlooked once again.
Excited to be in @histassoc.bsky.social latest TH201 Triumphs Show on shining a light on E.Eur history with Jadwiga of Poland.
Honoured to be in it, definite history teacher bucket list moment.

"Of the 991 history exam questions set in 2023, 357 featured a named individual, but only 31 were women – and nine of those were references to Elizabeth I or her reign."

Yesterday TMW's own Natasha Hodgson @nrhodgson-hist.bsky.social spoke with Naga Munchetty and Shalina Patel on @bbc5live.bsky.social about the recent @endsexisminschools.bsky.social report on the limited representation of women in the History curriculum. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... (starts at 2:19:35)
Immensely proud to be part of the incredible team who authored this report! The 'Great History Heist' presents results from a national survey of the teaching of women in History at KS3, and suggests pathways for improving the systemic barriers affecting representation in the classroom.
Publication day is here for our @endsexisminschools.bsky.social report: ‘The Great History Heist: Reclaiming Women’s Place in the History Curriculum’ a nationwide research project into the representation and teaching of women in the KS3 history curriculum

Be sure also to read more about the End Sexism in Schools's report in today's Guardian.
Thank you to @theguardian.com for covering our report into what’s taught in History lessons at Key Stage 3. Spoiler: mostly men. It’s time to end sexism in schools.
Be sure to check out End Sexism in Schools's latest report on the limited teaching of women in KS3 History lessons. TMW's own Natasha Hodgson (@nrhodgson-hist.bsky.social) was one of the report's co-authors.
In our latest animated short for KS3 History students (and History peeps in general), @nrhodgson-hist.bsky.social and @ewoodacre.bsky.social explain 'Corporate Monarchy' (or how monarchs relied on those closest to them to help them rule), using the examples of Töregene Khatun and Eleni of Ethiopia.
An intense 24 hours at #imc2025 — only time I’ve gone the 1 day route. Lovely to see the folks @archumanities.bsky.social & Laura @routledgehistory.bsky.social + enjoyed the craft fair, sessions from Noblewomen Network & Educating Elite Women, chatting @teachmedwomen.bsky.social at the roundtable
This last week has been a busy queenly one! Started in Nottingham with @teachmedwomen.bsky.social Then a conference in Paris celebrating Kathleen Wilson-Chevalier + Worth exhibition at the Petit Palais. Ended by examining at a virtual viva in Lisbon, congratulations to Dr @inesolaia.bsky.social!
Great to see Steve in front of Femina, a wonderful 'must read' book
From Æthelflæd to Tamar of Georgia to Salic Law, it's been a fun, history-packed day for the Teaching Medieval Women team, running a CPD day at @nottinghamtrentuni.bsky.social. Thank you to all who attended and to our speakers for the day ✨ #CPD
