Great Women of Mackinac, 1800–1950 tells the dramatic history of
thirteen women leaders on Mackinac Island in the nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. Their linked visions of family and
community define this beautiful island in the western Great Lakes.
In this collective biography, author and Mackinac Island resident
Melissa Croghan reveals how central they were to the history and
literature of Mackinac. Elizabeth Bertrand Mitchell, Madeline
Marcot LaFramboise, Therese Marcot Schindler, Elizabeth Therese
Baird, Agatha Biddle, and Jane Johnston Schoolcraft were
Anishinaabe fur traders, farmers, memoirists, and poets who
established the nineteenth-century island community. Among the
women of Mackinac, there were also those who sang the island’s
praises and recorded the lively relationships of the English,
French, and American inhabitants. These writers included Juliette
Magill Kinzie, Anna Brownell Jameson, Margaret Fuller, and
Constance Fenimore Woolson. There were also community builders who
founded key institutions and midwifed generations of island
children: Rosa Truscott Webb, Daisy Peck Blodgett, and Stella King.
Readers interested in American literature, women’s lives, and
Mackinac Island’s storied history will find this book a
fascinating read.
