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.

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.

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.

Biographical Text
Geraldine Hoff Doyle is the real life model for the famous World War II woman-worker recruitment poster titled “We Can Do It!” A photographer from the United Press snapped a photo of Doyle wearing the iconic polka-dotted bandana made famous on the poster depicting a woman flexing her muscle. Doyle didn’t know until 1984 that it was she who inspired the print and the name “Rosie the Riveter”. "Rosie" symbolizes the many women who entered the workforce in World War II to help the Allied forces win the war. Although denied equal pay and discriminated against, American women fought the war from the plants, many of them choosing to stay in paid employment after the war.
