Tell students that they will work in small groups to investigate ways in which the Famous 5 fought for equal rights for women and children. Refer each group to the one of the Famous 5 Profiles and The 'Persons' Case pages below, or print off these pages. Each small group may be asked to focus on investigating one of the Famous 5.

Have students use the sources to look for evidence of the impact the Famous 5 had on the suffrage movement and women's and children's rights. Students may be asked to use Analyzing a Photograph and Analyzing a Document to help them discuss and examine the sources.
