There will be cameo presentations of a world-class botanist/real estate speculator, a renowned cultural historian, a WWII Red Cross volunteer/second-wave feminist activist, a businesswoman/first-wave suffragist/politician, an educator/club woman, and a little-known nineteenth-century African American women's club, both staid and radical!
Honoring this sampling of Grand Rapids women, we also honor our researchers and will lift a glass to all for their contributions to our area history!
