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: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:African Americans in Early Grand Rapids
DESCRIPTION:At History Detectives\, GGRWHC’s Ruth Van Stee will present African Americans in Early Grand Rapids—including\, of course\, more women’s history. From 1850 to 1920 African Americans here were a steady one percent of the city’s rapidly growing population. After an overview of this vibrant community as a whole\, Van Stee will provide snapshots of individual business\, political\, and cultural leaders illustrating their life during an era that sometimes encouraged but often repressed their full involvement in this city.
