SUMMARY:Atmosphere of Distinction
DESCRIPTION:Open to the public on March 2!  During the twentieth century\, women throughout the country took great strides toward equality and began abandoning their traditional roles\, as well as restrictive fashions\, in search of greater opportunity and comfortable clothing.  “Atmosphere of Distinction” displays how the emergence of the women’s rights movement impacted West Michigan fashion trends and how it reflected women’s changing role in society. This exhibit runs through September 1\, 2018.

SUMMARY:The GGRWHC Annual Reception
DESCRIPTION:The annual reception immediately follows author Rebecca Traister’s visit to Grand Rapids on March 13 discussing her book All the Single Ladies: Unmarried Women and the Rise of an Independent Nation. The GGRWHC will add to the conversation by complicating the relationship between singledom and progress for women. To Traister’s examples we will add vivid anecdotes about our own “single ladies” in Grand Rapids – single for so many different reasons – and we will lift a glass to favorite married ladies for their contributions to social reform and massive change in Grand Rapids’s history. Honoring them we honor our researchers who have brought them back into the light.

SUMMARY:Where Have All the Flowers Gone? Rediscovering Emma Cole's 19th-Century Grand Rapids Flora
DESCRIPTION: In 1901 Emma J. Cole published Grand Rapids Flora\, a catalogue of plants growing without cultivation in the vicinity of Kent County. Enormous changes have taken place since those “horse and buggy” days\, yet her book remains the most complete account of plants specific to our area. Who was this remarkable high school teacher\, world traveller and Kent Scientific Institute botanist? Where were her favorite spots for wildflowers? Do they still exist? \nJulie Stivers will speak about the life of Emma Cole. Professor Crow will describe the work he and Dr. Warners are doing with Calvin students to rediscover Emma’s haunts and assess their natural quality today. There are interesting surprises as we don our “sleuthing” hats\, grab our hand lenses\, and observe the changes over more than 116 years.

SUMMARY:Who in the World is Merze Tate?
DESCRIPTION:Author Sonya Bernard Hollins will update us on her research into the amazing life and mysteries of Merze Tate. An African American girl born in 1905 in rural Michigan\, Tate graduated first in her class from Western Michigan University in 1927\, earned a doctorate from Oxford University\, worked for the State Department\, and traveled around the world twice. She became a Howard University history professor and sometime U.S. diplomat\, held patents\, spoke five languages\, wrote seven political books\, and purchased a ticket for a flight into outer space before leaving a legacy of millions to educational institutions. Bernard Hollins will release a book on Tate soon. Maybe in March! Be there!

SUMMARY:Votes for Women: Untangling Michigan's Suffragist History
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Historical Society of Michigan’s Local History Conference in Detroit! Greater Grand Rapids Women’s History Council board members Jo Ellyn Clarey and Ruth Stevens will lay out Michigan’s history of local legislation initiatives and court decisions revealing the crucial role played by local school board elections as both a testing ground for suffrage and a launching point for women in elective office. They will outline a better history of suffrage organizations by correcting faulty assumptions about geography\, ethnicity\, and race; and revalue Michigan history’s effect on the national story\, illustrating once again the importance of full and accurate research about local women throughout the nation. \nFrom the conference brochure: A century ago\, Michigan granted full suffrage to women\, which at last allowed them to vote in state and local elections. In this session\, the speakers will discuss the history of the suffrage movement in Michigan; the significance of local school board elections; and the movement’s inclusion of geography\, race\, and ethnicity
