Currently, the app features the untold stories of 75 women from the 19th century including influential women like: Annie Oakley, an exhibition shooter, Harriet Tubman, an abolitionist and political activist, and Cathy Williams, the first African-American woman to enlist in the United States Army. An augmented reality (AR) app called Lessons in Herstory has been launched to raise awareness of the role of women in history because 89% of historical textbook stories are about men. The app, which is available for Android and iOS, was developed by a team at Stanford University with support from Google and Microsoft. The app will then display a related story about a notable woman from the same era.
