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
<p>Dr. Agnes Wells was a Saginaw-born woman who was one of the nation's leading educators and an ardent support of women's equal rights. After being a principal in a high school in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and then at teacher of mathematics at Duluth High School, Wells became a faculty member at the University of Michigan in 1917. She was also the dean of women for two years. Wells left U of M to serve as Dean of Women at Indiana University and taught mathematics and astronomy after retiring from her administrative post. She founded a $1 million fellowship fund for the American Association of University Women and also belonged to the American Association of Deans of Women, and the American Association of University Professors. In 1949, she became chair of the National Woman's Party. The NWP had fought successfully for a constitutional amendment enfranchising women and after passage of the 19<sup>th</sup> amendment sought an Equal Rights Amendment. Upon reading a newspaper editorial which advised women that the 14<sup>th</sup> amendment doesn't mention sex (it does mention persons), she reportedly replied, "Women are persons, aren't they?" (<em>Saginaw Hall of Fame</em>, 2000).</p>

Title
A name given to the resource
Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences
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.

Biographical Text
A Greek philosopher who was also the first woman to be well-documented in the field of mathematics. She was the head of the Platonist School in Alexandria, where she also taught philosophy and astronomy. Her beliefs encouraged logic and mathematical study in place of empirical inquiry, and strongly enforced the need for governing laws in society. She was eventually killed by a mob after she was accused of exacerbating a political conflict in Alexandria.
