Title A name given to the resource Local (Michigan) Description An account of the resource Local role models provide us with people to look to as we aspire to fulfill our dreams. Sometimes, they might inspire us to achieve goals that we had never thought could be accomplished. The local collection honors those women in Michigan who dared to be different. 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.

She married John Picklemann on the ship over to the United States in 1845. Thirteen years after Picklemann's death, she married another founding member of the town, Johann Georg List. She gave birth to ten children, as well as oversaw the births of 61 of her 62 grandchildren. In all, Auer delivered more than 800 babies and never lost a mother or child. Her obituary described her as a "most lovable woman, highly educated, with a kindly disposition, and was loved and respected by all especially the sick, to whom she was a ministering Angel, having been called to their bedsides when medical men of any description were scarce in the wilderness, and as the years passed became noted as a midwife."

Title A name given to the resource Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences Description 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.

Katherine’s most dramatic act of “misbehavior” occurred when she led several of her fellow nuns to escape their convent hidden in fish barrels inside a covered wagon. While many men sought her hand in marriage, Katherine insisted that only Luther would do and, having won him over, the two married in 1525. Katherine oversaw their growing family and ran several business ventures that allowed Luther to continue his work as a Protestant reformer. Bibliography Kroker, Ernst.

Hatshepsut reigned as the first female pharaoh during the 18th Egyptian dynasty. She ruled longer than any other woman (22 years) and was considered by her subjects to be an extremely successful ruler. As pharaoh, Hatshepsut re-established trade routes with other countries that had been disrupted by the Hyksos occupation of Egypt. She oversaw a mission to Punt where many trade goods were obtained, notably myrrh. She commissioned many buildings that were grand and architecturally impressive, such as the Temple of Karnak and the mortuary temple complex at Deir el-Bahri. Her reign was a time of peace for Egypt.

Title A name given to the resource 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.

She led Local Woman's Auxiliary No. 15 of the Western Federation of Miners in support of the miners' cause during the 1913-1914 Strike. When the men fought to change their working conditions, Annie was constantly at the front of marches, proudly carrying the flag, using her tall stature (6’2”) to lead the striking men and their supporters. She was arrested and jailed twice for her efforts to help unionize Michigan's Copper Country. Annie also witnessed the tragedy that occurred during a party for striking workers and their families at the Italian Hall on Christmas Eve. Someone falsely yelled “fire” upstairs during the party causing a stampede that killed 73 people, 59 of them children. The violent and, sometimes, deadly strike put Annie in harm's way, but she persevered. Although the miners did not gain the right to unionize, they secured higher wages and a shorter workday. 1913 Italian Hall Tragedy and Annie Woody Guthrie wrote a song titled "1913 Massacre" where he talked about the Italian Hall tragedy where the striking workers were innocently celebrating Christmas with their families on Christmas Eve only to have someone (some say it was the opposing side) yell upstairs to the hall where they were having the party that there was a fire. Annie tried to keep the children and their parents calm, but fear of fire and being trapped on the second story of the building won out. With inadequate means to get out, a stamped occurred and many were trampled to death. Seventy-three people lost their lives that night--59 of them children. Guthrie wrote this song around 1941 when stories about the strike and people who witnessed it were still very much alive.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1898 Death Date 1991 Occupation Attorney Biographical Text Anne R. Davidow, a graduate of the University of Detroit Law School, went before the US Supreme Court to represent the plaintiffs in Goesaert v. Cleary (1948). The case involved Michigan barmaids fighting for civil rights against a 1945 Michigan law that banned female bartending in cities with a population of over 50,000, unless their husband or father owned the bar (Michigan Public Act 133, 1945). Davidow made the argument that sex discrimination violated women's constitutional rights by denying them equal protection and treatment under the 14th amendment of the US Constitution. The barmaids lost, but after continuous fighting the law was overturned. Davidow was no stranger to fighting for equal rights; she had advocated for women's suffrage atop soap boxes at factory gates. One of only four female graduates in her law school class of 1920, Davidow gained the right to vote the same year she passed the bar examination. An active feminist and lifelong member of the National Association for Women Lawyers, she once stated, “I was quite radical in the sense that I couldn’t see any reason a woman couldn’t do anything a man could do.” ("Longtime Lawyer," Detroit Free Press, June 25, 1991.) No stranger to the labor movement, Davidow had served as co-counsel to Walter, Victor, and Roy Reuther, leaders of the United Automobile Workers in its early years. She fought for social justice her entire life. Bibliography French, Amy Holtman. "Mixing It Up: Michigan Barmaids Fight for Civil Rights." The Michigan Historical Review 40:1 (Spring 2014): 27-48.

Title A name given to the resource Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences Description 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. Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1591 Birthplace England Death Date 1643 Biographical Text Born Anne Marbury, Hutchinson was a pioneer and preacher who called for equality and rights for women. Her strong religious convictions were at odds with the established Puritan clergy in Massachusetts. She dared to step out of the cultural confines of the time by holding prayer sessions in her home and following a version of Protestantism that would allow believers more power to have direct access to their god through prayer. Anne was tried in 1638 by the General Court of Massachusetts for, as she was told, “step[ping] out of your place…[being a husband rather than wife, a preacher than a hearer, a magistrate than a subject.” She was eventually banished from the colony.
