Included in the activity guides are some profiles, primarily of women. Many resources that feature biographies of heroes, inventors, community leaders, and others, feature primarily men. These profiles were developed to help give a more balanced perspective. The profiles are included in specific modules where they complement the theme and content of the unit. They may, however, be used by teachers of other grades or within other contexts and are, therefore, listed below along with a brief indication of who the people are and in which guide they may be found.
