March 27: Born of Hope and Indignation: The Michigan Female College, 1855-1869

Before 1870, women were denied entry to both UM and the Agricultural College (now MSU). In 1855, sisters Abigail and Delia Rogers brought the issue of co-education to Lansing where they found the Michigan Female College in our second state Capitol. Discover the story of the Rogers, their school, and the long fight to bring higher education to Michigan women presented by Valerie Marvin.
