Process Paper
When I was trying to choose a topic for History Day this year, I knew I wanted to do something completely foreign to me and that was the Womens Liberation Movement. It all started when I came across this book called the Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan. I was so intrigued by the book and at some point I wanted to do my whole project around it. But as I did a little more research, I decided to do my project on the Womens Liberation Movement instead. Before I went ahead with my research, I had to figure out a plan on how to organize everything. Each time I got new information, I wrote it down and the source I got it from. After I was comfortable with all of my information, I typed everything up. As soon as I would finish a page, I would group them underneath certain titles to organize it. Afterwards, I highlighted all the information I wanted to keep and the information I would replace with a primary source. I retyped everything again in my own words and that became my final draft. Tackling this topic wasnt an easy job. There was so much information, it was overwhelming. Narrowing it down wasnt the easiest but in the end I chose what I felt would be the most important to get my message across. I used books, online archives, websites, interviews, and videos to find all of my material. I had the opportunity to use the University of Scranton Library to get some books that werent present in my local library. I also had the pleasure of interviewing English Professor Sally Healy from Luzerne County Community College and that helped with my research a lot. I decided to use a website because I have two years of experience in making websites for National History Day and it has gotten me to states two years in a row. I also chose this medium because its more comfortable for me to use and I felt it would bring my topic to life. Using pictures, videos, graphics, and other forms of multimedia I feel will set my project apart from

using other mediums like an exhibit or a historical paper. In order to create my website, I had to set up all the pages and put all of my information on it. Once I was able to get the facts up, I corresponded all of the material with primary sources. Afterwards, I created graphics and put up my multimedia and photographs to make my website pop. My topic deals with the theme, Revolution, Reaction, and Reform, in many ways. Women reacted to the discrimination and injustices they faced by initiating a social revolution. This in turn brought out many reforms that shape Womens Rights today. You can explore all sides of the movement and find yourself making a connection with all three of the themes components.
