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.

Biographical Text
After a rough childhood, Sarah Emma Edmonds (born Edmondson) ran away from her home in New Brunswick, Canada and settled in Flint, Michigan. On May 25, 1861, she enlisted in the Second Michigan Infantry as Franklin Thompson. She participated in the Peninsula Campaign and the battles of Bull Run, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. In her memoir, Edmonds wrote of working as a spy and infiltrating the Confederacy, at times dressing as a black man or an Irish woman (there is no official record of this). According to Edmonds, she safely avoided detection as a man for many years. In 1863, she contracted malaria though. Knowing that her sex would be revealed in the hospital, Edmonds (Franklin Thompson) deserted the army. After her leave, she worked as a nurse for a while. In 1865, she published <em>Nurse and Spy in the Union Army</em>. In the 1880s, she petitioned for a veteran's pension and was granted one. She was also granted an honorable discharge and membership to the Grand Army of the Republic as its only woman member.
