Michigan's CON-CON 11 highlights the contributions of the eleven female delegates to the 1961-1962 Michigan Constitutional Convention. As the first female delegates to a state of Michigan constitutional convention, these pioneers demonstrated that women were more than capable of helping to revise Michigan's highest law. Their examples encouraged other women to enter politics during a time when few women held state or federal public office. Following the women's Con-Con journey over seven and a half months, the book offers a general overview of what a state constitutional convention is and what it means to be a delegate. Michigan's CON-CON 11 both educates the reader on constitution-making and sheds new light on an exciting moment in Michigan political history.
