A Woman Ahead of Her Time: Josie Westfall's Bold Campaign
A Woman Ahead of Her Time: Josie Westfall's Bold Campaign
In 1914, before women even had the right to vote, a Macomb woman with no formal legal education made the bold decision to run for City Judge. What might seem ordinary today was, at the time, a striking act of courage and conviction. This workshop delves into the story of Josie Westfall, a socially conscious community member whose determination reflected both local needs and the broader national struggle for women's suffrage.
