Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Gender Equity Activities activity also includes:

A male nurse? A female welder? Unequal pay? The "Glass Ceiling?" A 22-page Gender Equity Activity Book asks participants to examine the effects of gender role stereotyping on career choices. Class members also update job titles (housewife to homemaker) and words and phrases (man and wife to husband and wife) to make them more gender-neutral and consider facts and myths about sexual harassment.
