Women Who Dared to Lead: Michigan Women in Politics
Michigan women were running for office as soon as they gained the right to vote. Yet the number of office-holding women in the Michigan Legislature has been declining. This exhibit seeks to inspire more women to be active in their communities by focusing on the stories of 36 members of the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame that were forerunners for women in local, state, and national politics. Discover their legacy though stories of struggle and inspiration while learning what it takes to run for political office.

Not Just a Man's War: Michigan Women and the Civil War
In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, discover the unique contributions made by Michigan women. Michigan women were on the frontline during the Civil War serving as as nurses in hospitals and on the battlefield. Some bold women even disguised themselves as men to serve in battle. And then there is the story of the home front, which did not remain static during the four long years of war. Women took on new roles and responsibilities left behind by men: they ran businesses, tended farms, raised families, and sent their support in the form of supplies, letters, and money-- often not knowing the condition of their soldier husband, father, sweetheart, brother, or son.
