Lessons in Herstory uses AR to bring to life forgotten stories of women, right on the pages of your history textbook. Scan any portrait of a man in your textbook and unlock a related story about an important woman.
Currently, Lessons In Herstory works with “A History of US: Liberty for All? 1820-1860, Book Five, 2005”. The app will soon expand to work with more textbooks. But don’t worry if you don’t have a textbook, you can still use the app with the photos available on www.lessonsinherstory.com
By putting a new lens on history, this app has the power to inspire the next generation through stories of powerful women.

Clara Barton is Missing
I can’t thank you enough for creating something so important. And the graphics make it so approachable and fun!
The only thing I would point out is that Clara Barton is missing. She used her own money during civil war to bring medical supplies to the wounded soldiers at the frontline, wrote letters to their families so they could have closure, and fought for 10 years to establish the American Red Cross. She more than deserves to be shown next to Abraham Lincoln and all other important civil war heroes.
For white and black people only
No Asian representation. Basically just reinforces that stereotype that white and black women are the ones making change for female empowerment and freedom.

Why it said “he” instead of“she”？
LOVE this
This app is amazing and I am so glad to have found it because o had no idea how little we learn about historical women in school and this is also great because I love reading about women throughout history but a lot of the women in this app I have never heard of so it’s really great they these incredible people are getting even a little recognition 😄😄😄
Fun quick reference
I like reading quick references about Herstory. I would love to see Ruth Bader Ginsburg added and Jane Addams who is the mother of social work and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.
10/10
I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH!! Ok but being for real, two people who I would love to see added: Ruth bader Ginsberg and Angelina grimke.
Great Idea
This app seems really cool! I love this idea and the information shared!!
I’m also seriously missing Tracey Africa Norman, Andrea Jenkins, Miss Major, and Lavern Cox. Hopefully there will be updates shortly!
Sexist
This app is too sexist - include everyone
Amazing but glitchy
I try to scroll down on the list of women but it just scrolls back up a little bit. And when I zoom in on the story because it is tiny, it moves where I don’t want it. If this could be fixed, I would be happy.
One problem
I love this app so very much it tells stories about wonderful women! But there are not enough women! I can think of Susan B Anthony, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. These are very important people! These people started a movement for women and African Americans!
