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
Adams was an activist for women’s rights, reminding her husband to “remember the ladies” as our forefathers created a new code of laws for the nation. As first lady by virtue of her marriage to John Adams, Abigail advocated for married women’s property rights and for the educational rights of women. She is remembered for the many letters she wrote to her husband where she counseled his political actions; their correspondence was filled with intellectual discussions on government and politics.

Biographical Text
<p>Dr. Agnes Wells was a Saginaw-born woman who was one of the nation's leading educators and an ardent support of women's equal rights. After being a principal in a high school in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and then at teacher of mathematics at Duluth High School, Wells became a faculty member at the University of Michigan in 1917. She was also the dean of women for two years. Wells left U of M to serve as Dean of Women at Indiana University and taught mathematics and astronomy after retiring from her administrative post. She founded a $1 million fellowship fund for the American Association of University Women and also belonged to the American Association of Deans of Women, and the American Association of University Professors. In 1949, she became chair of the National Woman's Party. The NWP had fought successfully for a constitutional amendment enfranchising women and after passage of the 19<sup>th</sup> amendment sought an Equal Rights Amendment. Upon reading a newspaper editorial which advised women that the 14<sup>th</sup> amendment doesn't mention sex (it does mention persons), she reportedly replied, "Women are persons, aren't they?"

Flight nurse
Biographical Text
Aleda Lutz was the first American woman to die in combat in World War II. She was born in Freeland, Michigan (a rural town adjacent to Saginaw) and graduated as a nurse from the Saginaw General Hospital School of Nursing in 1937. Soon after receiving her degree though, the world broke out in war. For the first time, women were being called on to do duties that never before had been considered appropriate for their sex. They worked as riveters, mechanics, pilots, and much more. In 1942, Lutz enlisted in the Army Nurse Corps. She was trained in the Aerial Evacuation Service, which revolutionized military medical care by providing flying ambulances controlled by flight nurses. The service (arm of the US Air Force) saved the lives of many wounded soldiers by staffing the planes with flight nurses and getting the wounded to hospitals far from the front lines. When the Allies invaded North Africa in February of 1943, Lutz was sent to Tunisia to evacuate the wounded troops. She went on to save soldiers at the invasion of Anzio, Italy. In 1944, Lutz was transferred from Italy to southern France to evacuate wounded soldiers from the Allied invasion campaign. On November 1, 1944, she was flying patients from the front lines to a hospital in Italy when severe storms downed the plane. She died at the age of 28. At the time of her death, Lutz had flown 196 missions and evacuated over 3500 men. In all, about 500 flight nurses served as members of the medical air evacuation squadrons. Of the 1,176,048 patients that these women evacuated, only 46 died en route. Seventeen flight nurses lost their lives during the war. Lutz was awarded the Air Medal with four Oak Leaf Clusters. Posthumously, she was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with six oak leaf clusters, the first honor of its kind made to an army nurse in WWII. In 1945, a US Army hospital ship was named after her and, in 1990, the Saginaw Veterans Hospital was rededicated in her name. A stele marks the crash site near Doizieux, France, which notes that Lutz was the first American woman who died in action during WWII.

Biographical Text
Alice Freeman Palmer is a notable figure in women's history. She was one of the United State's greatest educators and became president of Wellesley College. Freeman graduated from the University of Michigan pioneering in the coeducation field. After her graduation, in 1877, she came to Saginaw, Michigan. At the time, Saginaw was in the heyday of its lumbering industry. For many of its young men, work came before schooling, which would make Freeman's job all the more difficult. As principal of Saginaw High School, Freeman encountered a gang of tough boys. She dismissed the leader of the gang from school and restored order at Saginaw High. In 1879,she left to accept a professorship at Wellesley College and became their president at the incredibly young age of 27. Freeman insisted on rigorous academic standards for the women at Wellesley. The college grew during her tenure and her innovative techniques ushered in a golden age for the school. When she married George Palmer, a Harvard professor, she left active leadership at Wellesley, but remained as one of their trustees, and served on the Massachusetts State Board of Education. Palmer was much in demand as a lecturer and for her active participation in numerous education groups.

Suffragist and women's rights activist
Biographical Text
Alice Paul was a suffragist who famously split from the state-by-state campaign of the National American Woman's Suffrage Association to form the National Woman's Party, which was dedicated to a constitutional amendment. The NWP picketed the White House and many women, including Paul, were arrested for obstructing traffic. Paul began a hunger strike while in prison to protest the conditions there. Their campaign kept the cause of suffrage in the news during World War I and contributed to the passage of the 19th amendment enfranchising women. Not satisfied with women's still inequitable status, Paul shifted her focus to the passage of an Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA called for the rights of U.S. citizens to not be denied or abridged on the basis of sex. Although ERA has been continuously discussed in Congress since 1924, to this day there is still no amendment to the U.S. Constitution protecting rights on account of sex. Paul was a well-educated women who took a B.A. in Biology, a M.A. in Sociology, a Ph.D. in Economics, and three law degrees (LL.B., LL. M., Doctorate in Civil Laws) from various colleges.

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.

Labor organizer
Biographical Text
Anna Clemenc (1888-1956), or "Big Annie" as she was called, was an expert labor organizer who helped shape the labor movement in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. 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. He immortalized Annie in the following lyrics: <br /><div style="text-align:center;">The copper boss' thugs stuck their heads in the door,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">One of them yelled and he screamed, "there's a fire,"</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">A lady she hollered, "there's no such a thing.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Keep on with your party, there's no such thing."</div>

Biographical Text
Anna Margaretha Auer was an orphan who studied at the Loehe Institute in Neuendettelsau, Germany before emigrating to the United States and becoming one of the founding families of Frankenmuth, Michigan. 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." (Death of a Pioneer, <em>The Frankenmuth News</em>, October 18, 1906)

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.

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
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.

Biographical Text
<p>Annie Smith Peck enjoyed a privileged upbringing in Rhode Island. Her father, an attorney and business owner, was a prominent man in Providence serving on their City Council. Annie started her education by attending Dr. Stockbridge’s School for Young Ladies before going to the local high school and then graduating from a Rhode Island teaching college. As was common at the time, students who wished to teach gained extra training by attending a normal school. Annie graduated from the Rhode Island Normal School in 1872. The Rhode Island Normal School had opened in 1854. Since the first normal school in the United States started in 1823 in Vermont, Rhode Island’s Normal School was one of the first in the nation—schools in Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Michigan preceding it. Annie’s program was a teacher preparation curriculum, but the school eventually developed into a teaching college and then later into a comprehensive higher education institution when it became Rhode Island College.</p>
<p>After receiving teaching training, Annie moved (in the mid 1870s) to Saginaw, Michigan—a lumber town—to teach high school courses. While in Michigan, Annie decided to pursue further education. In 1870, the prestigious University of Michigan had opened its doors to women. With the first class of women graduating from U of M, Annie enrolled in the Classical Languages program (specializing in Greek). She graduated with honors in 1878. Annie then pursued a master’s degree in Greek, which she received in 1881. From Michigan, she ventured off to Europe to obtain further training. Annie was reportedly the first woman to attend the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, Greece. (“Annie Smith Peck,” <a href="http://www.ric.edu/faculty/rpotter/smithpeck.html" title="Dr. Russell Potter faculty page">Dr. Russell Potter faculty page</a>, Rhode Island College, accessed 12/21/2017)</p>
<p>It was in Europe that Annie discovered the thrill of mountain climbing and her aptitude for it. She scaled mountains in Italy, Switzerland, and Greece. She became the third woman ever to reach the summit of the Matterhorn in the Alps. Social convention required women to wear skirts or dresses at all times, but Annie donned trousers for the climb—scandalizing everyone I’m sure. Mountain climbing was a male sport, so there wasn't equipment available for women. Annie had to engineer or adapt the necessary implements...even her shoes. After climbing the Matterhorn in 1895, Annie set her sights on the Americas. She scaled Mount Orizaba in Mexico in 1897 and tried to climb Mount Illampu in Bolivia, but failed.</p>
<p>In 1908, after several attempts, and at the age of 58, Annie Smith Peck was the first person to scale Peru’s Mount Huascaran. It was a major achievement that was fraught with danger. At the time, she thought she had climbed the highest peak in the Americas. It would turn out not to be the highest, but it was still a record-breaking climb of 22,205 feet. A year later, she promoted suffrage by planting a “Votes For Women” flag at the top of Mount Coropuna in Peru.</p>
Throughout her life, she continued mountaineering, exploring, and travel writing. Although she climbed until right before she died, she included exploring by plane to her adventuring ways. She explored South America by flight and wrote about it in her 1932 book, <i>Flying Over South America: Twenty Thousand Miles by Air</i>. Annie Smith Peck died in 1935 at the age of 84 having set new records for men and women alike.
