Scope and Content
As part of the 40th Anniversary of The Women's Center in 2013, Jane Ryan began a series of oral history interviews of women who founded, volunteered, received services, or worked at the Center, located in Marquette, Michigan. Taken together the oral histories describe how and why women organized and established the Women's Center. Interviewees discuss the nature of early educational workshops and programs benefiting women and families in the Marquette area. Recipients of the Center's services summarize the life changing effects these services had on them. Interviews with current and former staff members provide firsthand accounts on operational procedures and the evolution of the Center over time. The following interviewees shared their experience with the Women's Center: Priscilla Burnham, Jacqueline Dalt, Rosa Diddams, June Easton, Norma Greenwood, Holly Greer, Gail Griffith, Sue Kensington, Sally May, Carolyn McDonald, Patricia Micklow, Martha Parks, Kathy Peters, Karlyn Rapport.
