SUMMARY:Elective Detectives & Crowdsourcing Grand Rapids Women's History
DESCRIPTION:At History Detectives\, the Grand Rapids Public Library’s day-long offering of local history programming\, Julia Bouwkamp and Jo Ellyn Clarey will report on how the charting of 19th-century local women’s candidacy for public office is upending conventional wisdom and offering surprises about dates\, the numbers of races\, and the identities of losers. This unique historical accounting hopes to inspire cities across the nation to create their own comprehensive elective histories. And now a national crowdsourcing project\, Her Hat Was in the Ring\, has invited local researchers to share their data with the world\, to help others complete and complicate American women’s history by seeking out every woman who ran before 1920.

SUMMARY:The Wives (and Lives) of the Early Dutch Pastors - Janet Sheeres
DESCRIPTION:START the new year with new women’s history!\nOn Saturday at 1:30pm\, “The Wives (and Lives) of Early Dutch Pastors” — Unlike the biographies of early male ministers of the Christian Reformed Church in North America\, which have been well documented and honored\, the stories of their wives\, who were important community builders in their own right\, have been sadly ignored in the historical writings of the church. Now Janet Sjaarda Sheeres pulls them out of obscurity in her new book\, For Better\, For Worse. Adding to her increasing body of historical work on invisible Dutch women\, Sheeres highlights the living conditions of these women and the challenges they faced. Sponsored by the Western Michigan Genealogical Society at the Grand Rapids Public Library: http://wmgs.org/news.htm (Free and open to the public)\nPreviously\, Janet Sjaarda Sheeres has reported on early Dutch women midwives and single women immigrants\, also sidelined in early historical records. Born in the Netherlands\, Sheeres is the author of three books and over 70 articles in national and international journals. Among her many service positions\, she has been president of the Association for the Advancement of Dutch American Studies\, chair of the Christian Reformed Church Historical Committee\, and is the associate editor of Origins\, the historical magazine of Calvin College’s Heritage Hall Archives.

SUMMARY:Women\, Art\, and Social Change: The Newcomb Pottery Enterprise
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition presents over 125 rarely-exhibited Newcomb ceramics\, tableware\, jewelry\, textiles\, bookbinding\, and graphics\, from one of the most remarkable collections of 20th century American pottery. \nBetween 1894 and 1948\, some of the most beautiful and functional art objects of the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements were created at the Newcomb Pottery Enterprise in New Orleans. The Pottery was an innovative educational experiment as much as an operational facility: it was conceived in the late 19th century at Newcomb Memorial College\, Tulane University’s coordinate institution for women\, as an income-generating venture for women training in the applied arts.
