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
Ruth Ellis was an African-American woman who was widely known in the Detroit community for her long-standing open support and activism for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual rights. She came out as a lesbian around 1915—a potentially dangerous move for anyone at the time, but even more so for a black woman. She and her partner, Ceciline Franklin, moved to Detroit in the 1930s where Ellis opened the first printing business owned by a woman in that city. Their house was as a haven for LGBT African Americans. Ellis was known for her generosity and helping young people, especially with educational costs. Inspired by her, some of her friends opened the Ruth Ellis Center to provide social services for runaway, homeless, and at risk LGBT youth. The Center, however, will not turn away any youth in crisis regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Ellis is honored in the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame for her activism and for her leadership in business.
