An account of the resource
The broad collection of "Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences" highlights those women who dared in the areas of the arts (visual and performing), the humanities (philosophy, law, history, literature, religion, languages, communication), and the social sciences ( anthropology, archaeology, sociology, economics, psychology, political science). It also includes female intellectuals who were excluded from formal methods of education, but who advanced our collective knowledge of the aforementioned fields. Each of the fields represented started off as a male-dominated field. Although women have integrated all of these areas, they are still not representative in many such as religion, political science, law, economics, psychology, archaeology, history, and so on. This collection hopes to expand the readers' knowledge of women in these subjects and encourage their further study by women.

Biographical Text
Artemisia Gentileschi was an Italian Baroque painter, today considered one of the most accomplished painters in the generation after Caravaggio. She was the first female painter to become a member of the Accademia di Arte delDisegno in Florence. Gentileschi painted many pictures of strong and suffering women from myth and the Bible – victims, suicides, and warriors. Her best-known image, <em>Judith Beheading Holofernes</em> shows the decapitation of Holofernes, a scene of horrific struggle and blood-letting. That she was a woman painting in the 17th century and that she was raped herself and participated in prosecuting the rapist long overshadowed her achievements as an artist. Today she is regarded as one of the most progressive and expressionist painters of her generation.

Biographical Text
Audra Francis was the first female council member of the Saginaw City Council. This action was just one of many that fulfilled a life dedicated to improving the status of women. After active leadership in the local PTA, participation in the Women's Society of Christian Service, and making women's history come alive by dressing up as Mary Lincoln, Grandma Moses, and others, Francis joined Saginaw's Zonta Club in 1941. The club required its members to pledge to: "…improve the legal, political, economic, and professional status of women." By 1947, she was elected president of the club and by 1950 she was a member of the Zonta International Board of Directors. Francis served as president of Zonta International from 1958-1960 and visited clubs in 48 states, all the Canadian provinces, 12 European countries, and Guatemala. She was elected to the Saginaw City Council in 1953 and served for twelve years. Francis was engaged in many civic activities, including fundraising for the YWCA. In 1972, she was elected chair of the Saginaw County Commission. This was yet another female first for the city. Francis died at the age of 90 after a life dedicated to forwarding women's equality and improving the city of Saginaw, Michigan.

Description
An account of the resource
The leadership and governance collection highlights those women who dared to lead or govern. These women may have led countries or industries. They may have governed organizations or companies. Because women have historically been excluded from positions of power, it is important to acknowledge those women who were able to achieve positions at the top. Although a glass ceiling still exists in most societies, these women give us hope that someday that ceiling will be destroyed and that top roles in a company, government, or institution will fairly represent the half of the population comprised of women.

Benazir Bhutto was the first woman in an Islamic country to serve as a prime minister. She became the youngest chief executive in the world at the age of 35. She brought electricity to the countryside and built schools in her country. She survived an assassination attempt that took the lives of 100 bystanders. A few weeks later, there was a second attack. A gunman shot up her car before detonating a bomb, killing more than 20 bystanders and himself. She died as a result of that act.

Description
An account of the resource
The women's rights collection showcases women who dared to fight for rights, civil or otherwise. Throughout world history, women have frequently been excluded from full citizenship; these women sought to make their society more equitable by fighting for civil, political, economic, legal, or social rights. The women in this collection remind us that often the fight for women's rights is a fight for civil rights. They inspire us to make a positive difference towards the goal of social equality.

Biographical Text
Betty Friedan was an American feminist, activist, and writer. Her 1963 book, <em>The Feminine Mystique</em>, is considered an important impetus to the women’s rights movement. Friedan’s book opened the way for women to rethink their places in the family, the community, and the world at large. Friedan co-founded the National Organization of Women, the largest political organization today fighting for women’s equality. She was also a strong advocate of the Equal Rights Amendment.

Description

The reform collection highlights those women who dared to influence labor changes to expand worker control over their conditions or who dared to reform society in a positive manner. In the United States, women have historically been major contributors to the great reform movements. Although their work is not given as much credit as those of their male counterparts, it was women who did much of the grassroots campaigning for universal suffrage, abolition of slavery, labor legislation, prison reform, social welfare programs, asylum reform, religious freedom, peace programs, and universal education. This collection then highlights the work of some of those activists and encourages us to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

Some of these women integrated male-dominated fields, like firefighting, while others dared to change law, lead businesses, forward higher education, or fight for social justice. These women help shape our dreams and give Michiganians someone local to provide inspiration.

Biographical Text
Cora Mae Reynolds was the first Native American woman elected to Michigan's House of Representatives. Of Ojibwe descent, she is thought to be the only Native American woman to have served in Michigan's legislature as of 2014. Born in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Reynolds decided to become a teacher. After attending public schools in the area, she then went to the Haskell Institute in Lawrence, Kansas to study. After her training was completed, she returned to the Upper Peninsula and taught in the local school system.<br /><br />Cora Reynolds married Charles Anderson in 1903; the couple ran a local hotel in L'Anse, Michigan. "Anderson's desire to improve the lot of those less fortunate led her to take up a new cause: establishing a public health service for Baraga County." (Majher, <em>Michigan History</em>, 47) She was particularly interested in alcoholism and other public health issues, such as tuberculosis. In 1925, she ran for the Michigan House of Representatives. She served one term from 1925-1926. During that time, "she was appointed chair of the committee overseeing the Industrial Home for Girls." (Mahjer, 47) Anderson continued to promote the public health by sponsoring acts to regulate sanitation practices. Representing her Native American constituency, she championed fishing rights on Huron Bay. After a redistricting caused Reynolds to lose her position, she joined the Michigan Grange, where she "quickly rose through the ranks to become an officer of the organization, respresenting the U.P. with distinction." (Mahjer, 48) In 2001, her life's work was honored when she was inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame.

Reform (Social or Labor)
Description
An account of the resource
The reform collection highlights those women who dared to influence labor changes to expand worker control over their conditions or who dared to reform society in a positive manner. In the United States, women have historically been major contributors to the great reform movements. Although their work is not given as much credit as those of their male counterparts, it was women who did much of the grassroots campaigning for universal suffrage, abolition of slavery, labor legislation, prison reform, social welfare programs, asylum reform, religious freedom, peace programs, and universal education. This collection then highlights the work of some of those activists and encourages us to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

Biographical Text
Daisy Bates’ fight for justice began long before the world knew her name. As a black woman born and matured prior to the Civil Rights Movement, she experienced the segregation and legal racism that came because of her skin tone. When she was a child, one of the first encounters she had with prejudice was when a butcher chose to keep serving the white clientele even after she placed her order for some meat (Calloway-Thomas, Garner, 1996). Though the separation by skin color was a part of her culture, this was one of the first times that being an African American disadvantaged her. As she grew older and more involved as an activist for equality, her business as a newspaper company, <em>State Press</em>, came under frequent boycotting. These obstacles seemed to fuel Daisy’s passion for justice even more. When faced with an obstacle, she didn’t back off or give up, she threw her whole being into dismantling the injustice and doing so in a way that would send ripples throughout history for her daring to change the norm. <br /><br />A significant event of the Civil Rights Movement was the Supreme Court case, <em>Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka </em>(1954). This case determined that the segregation by skin color was unconstitutional in schools, striking down the previous case that had shaped state and federal laws, <em>Plessy v. Ferguson </em>(1896), which stated segregation was allowed as long as the groups were treated equally. The implications of <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em> were widespread, tumultuous, and contributed to the movement in America that fought for the equality of people of color. Though the court case changed the laws of the land, application was difficult and long in coming. To begin desegregating schools, especially of the progressively stagnant southern states, a leader was needed to organize, implement, and follow through with the plans. Such a person was found in Daisy Bates, a woman who dared to change the social climate for nine students of color to become enrolled at an all-white institute, Central High School, in Little Rock, Arkansas. <br /><br />Why was this school so important? The integration of Central High School could fill many textbooks with the layers of its complexity. Due to it being the very first school to become desegregated since <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em> three years previous was decided, there was a plan set in place to integrate nine students of color into the school, and to make sure they were safe going to and from the institution. Daisy Bates’ house became the official meeting place for the students prior to attending school and before returning home. She was active in ensuring the safety of the nine students. The world needed a strong person to champion this cause and Daisy Bates was the woman who fit the job description. Because she successfully integrated the nine students into Central High School, it became an example of a school desegregation. This was the beginning of other schools following suit, though there were many other struggles that came with this movement (Jacoway, 2007). <br /><br />Most well known for her spearheading of the Little Rock desegregation, Daisy Bates was involved long afterwards in the social justice movement. She was a prominent speaker at rallies and conferences and a true leader. Heavily involved especially during the Civil Rights Movement, including working with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the Southern Christian Leadership Conference executive committee. When former President Lyndon B. Johnson was in office, she was a part of the anti-poverty programs. Even after suffering a stroke in 1959, she remained involved in her local community, in bettering different parts of their town such as the streets and sewage system. She passed away on November 4, 1999, after a long and full life of campaigning for human rights.
