This is from the Oklahoma Historical Society's website, and includes information about gender roles in the 5 tribes involved in the Trail of Tears--the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, and Creek.

This is an overview of women's history in America, presented by Women's International Center. It includes details about women in many different areas--such as work and politics. Please be certain you are looking at the sections that talk about the late 18th century or early-to-mid 19th century!

This is a VERY interesting website that includes articles from a children's magazine that started in 1827. If you consider what type of children would have gotten magazines during that time period, you'll know that this website will apply to those of you who have wealthy white profiles. Lots of stories that reveal the moral views of Christian families at that time--a child's duty to his/her parents, gender roles, etc.

This website includes some interesting tidbits of information about how difficult life was for colonial women. While our time period is a wee bit later than this, you can still use this information for the earliest period of Historybook (i.e. right around 1800). What were the men in charge of, if the women did all of the work listed here? If you are not sure, read below!
Finally, use the original websites listed below in my earlier post, in order to examine more details about gender roles. What do the men and women do for their jobs and their roles on these different websites? There is a great deal of information on these original sites if you re-examine them looking specifically for information on gender roles.
Good luck!
