The women in this exhibit lived or worked in the Great Lakes Bay Region and are a reminder to us of the powerful and influential citizens who live or have lived right next door. Although many towns have one notable citizen that they like to exalt, the residents of the Great Lakes Bay Region of Michigan live in an area for which the can be proud of numerous citizens.
The heritage of the Great Lakes Bay Region is one that continues to this day with women leading educational institutions, fighting for our country, providing safe havens for the abused and needy, running businesses, keeping our communities safe, working as professional doctors, professors, attorneys and the like, governing, and fighting for a better, more equitable society.
