Celebrate The Life Stories Of Leelanau Women
March 1, 2021
Ladies, gather with your sisters, daughters, mother — and sons, brother, and/or partner while you’re at it. In honor of Women’s History Month, the League of Women Voters Leelanau County is hosting a free “lunch & learn” webinar at noon March 3, celebrating the dynamic lives of three influential local women.
Sharing their stories will be Peshawbestown's Linda Woods, an Odawa elder, veteran, and tribal member of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians; and Rosie Vasquez, who today works at MI Rehabilitation Services but arrived in Lake Leelanau at age 12, when her mother brought her migrant family to work the local farms. Kim Kelderhouse, Executive Director of the Leelanau Historical Society will speak on the incredible legacy of Emelia Christine Schaub, Michigan’s first elected woman prosecutor.
