I Gave Them a Voice: Reflections From a First-Time Author

Abstract

Michigan\u27s Upper Peninsula, an undergarment factory, and a women\u27s study club may seem unlikely ingredients for a book, but they led to my book about women in northern Michigan and two ladies\u27 undergarment factories where they worked. I never intended to publish a book. I did, however, want to shine a light on the largely untold story of hundreds of remarkable women to give them a voice and to preserve their stories
