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. Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1896 Birthplace Barry County, Michigan, USA Death Date 1986 Occupation City leadership Biographical Text Audra Francis was the first female council member of the Saginaw City Council. This action was just one of many that fulfilled a life dedicated to improving the status of women. After active leadership in the local PTA, participation in the Women's Society of Christian Service, and making women's history come alive by dressing up as Mary Lincoln, Grandma Moses, and others, Francis joined Saginaw's Zonta Club in 1941. The club required its members to pledge to: "…improve the legal, political, economic, and professional status of women." By 1947, she was elected president of the club and by 1950 she was a member of the Zonta International Board of Directors. Francis served as president of Zonta International from 1958-1960 and visited clubs in 48 states, all the Canadian provinces, 12 European countries, and Guatemala. She was elected to the Saginaw City Council in 1953 and served for twelve years. Francis was engaged in many civic activities, including fundraising for the YWCA. In 1972, she was elected chair of the Saginaw County Commission. This was yet another female first for the city. Francis died at the age of 90 after a life dedicated to forwarding women's equality and improving the city of Saginaw, Michigan.
