Leadership/Governance
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 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.

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
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.

Biographical Text
Dolores Clara Fernandez was born in 1930 in a small mining town in New Mexico to parents who undoubtedly influenced her later in life. Her mother, Alicia Chavez, was an entrepreneur whom Dolores credits with planting the seeds for her union organizing skills and her feminism. Her father, Juan Fernandez, was a farm worker and miner, who was also a union activist and ran for political office. Her parents divorced when she was a toddler and Dolores was raised in California with her mother. <br /><br />Engaged in community activism in high school, Dolores went to the University of Pacific’s Delta College in Stockton where she earned teaching credentials. She continued that activism after marrying Ralph Head and birthing two daughters by becoming part of the leadership of the Stockton Community Service Organization (CSO). While working the CSO, she founded the Agricultural Workers Association, fought for improvements to Hispanic neighborhoods, and encouraged voter registration. <br /><br />In 1955, she met Cesar Chavez. The two shared a vision for organizing farm workers and they created the National Farm Workers Association in 1962, which became the United Farm Workers Union. <br /><br />Some of Huerta’s accomplishments were: <br />• Coined the phrase, Si, se puede (yes, we can) which inspired President Obama’s campaign slogan <br />• Securing Aid For Dependent Families and disability insurance for farm workers in California in 1963 <br />• Working to enact Agricultural Labor Relations Act of 1975 (first law of its kind granted farm workers in California right to collectively organize and bargain for better wages and working conditions) <br />• Has helped elect numerous Democratic candidates to office, including Bobby Kennedy, President Clinton, Governor Jerry Brown, and Hillary Clinton <br />• Helped direct the first National Boycott of California Table Grapes <br />• Crossed the country for two years encouraging Latinas to run for office <br />• Served as the National Chair of the 21st Century Party founded on the principles that women make up 52% of the party’s candidates and that officers must reflect that Dolores <br /><br />Huerta has won numerous awards including the highest civilian award in the United States—The Presidential Medal of Freedom. Huerta was an extraordinarily influential advocate for farmworkers, but later in her life she took a leave of absence from labor activism to fight for women's rights. She encouraged Hispanic women to run for political office; her campaign resulted in a significant increase in the numbers of women representatives at local, state, and federal levels. Huerta continues to advocate for women, children, and the working poor.

Title

Leadership/Governance
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.

Description
An account of the resource
The "Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics" (STEM) collection highlights those women who dared in the fields of science, medicine, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It also highlights female intellectuals who were excluded from formal methods of education, but who advanced our collective knowledge of the aforementioned fields. Even in the 21st century, women are underrepresented in these fields. The women portrayed in this collection provide examples of excellence in STEM studies and inspire us to continue integrating these areas.

Women's Rights
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
Stanton was a women’s rights advocate who organized the first women’s rights convention. Along with Susan B. Anthony, she traveled the country holding more conventions. In 1869 she founded the National Woman Suffrage Association, holding the position of president until 1892. She helped compose the first three volumes of the six-volume History of Woman Suffrage. Unfortunately, she died before seeing her goal of female enfranchisement realized with the 19th Amendment in 1920.
