Title A name given to the resource Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics Description An account of the resource The "Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics" (STEM) collection highlights those women who dared in the fields of science, medicine, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It also highlights female intellectuals who were excluded from formal methods of education, but who advanced our collective knowledge of the aforementioned fields. Even in the 21st century, women are underrepresented in these fields. The women portrayed in this collection provide examples of excellence in STEM studies and inspire us to continue integrating these areas. Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1734 Birthplace Oxford, Massachusetts, USA Death Date 1812 Occupation Midwife Biographical Text Although many might say that a woman functioning as a midwife was acting within her cultural confines, midwifery allowed women power in society not typically afforded them. They often acted as physicians—ministering to non-pregnant women as well as those with child. Moreover, there was a legal component to the job. They recorded births, deaths, and parentage. When a woman gave birth out of wedlock, the name of the father declared by the mother during labor was recorded by the midwife. The midwife's record of parentage was used to hold men responsible for the care of their offspring. Martha Ballard left behind a comprehensive diary from which we know more about her life and her profession. Bibliography Ulrich, Laurel Thatcher.

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 1821 Birthplace Germany Death Date 1906 Occupation Midwife Biographical Text Anna Margaretha Auer was an orphan who studied at the Loehe Institute in Neuendettelsau, Germany before emigrating to the United States and becoming one of the founding families of Frankenmuth, Michigan. She married John Picklemann on the ship over to the United States in 1845. Thirteen years after Picklemann's death, she married another founding member of the town, Johann Georg List. She gave birth to ten children, as well as oversaw the births of 61 of her 62 grandchildren. In all, Auer delivered more than 800 babies and never lost a mother or child. Her obituary described her as a "most lovable woman, highly educated, with a kindly disposition, and was loved and respected by all especially the sick, to whom she was a ministering Angel, having been called to their bedsides when medical men of any description were scarce in the wilderness, and as the years passed became noted as a midwife."
