saw the exhibit "Becom-
ing American Women:
Clothing and the Jewish Immi-
grant Experience, 1880-1920" at
the Chicago Historical Society, she
envisioned this program in De-
troit. The Detroit Historical Mu-
seum was a natural choice for the
exhibit because of its Leonard Si-
mons Memorial Fund, which was
established in memory of Ms.
Zieve's father.
Ms. Zieve is in the midst of
forming a committee to work on
this exciting project. Linda Sir-
cus, Phyllis Strome, Shelia
Garber, Lois Shaevsky, An-
nette Fink and Amy Berke re-
cently attended an informal
breakfast meeting at the Zieve
home.

"This is an exciting, traveling
exhibit focusing on our Jewish her-
itage," said Ms. Zieve. "Not only is
it a great exhibit, but it coincides
with the 50th anniversary of the
Women's Division of Federation,"
she added.
"Becomhig American Women,"
sponsored by the Chicago Histor-
ical Society, has appeared at the
Ellis Island Immigration Muse-
um in New York and at the Na-
tional Museum of American
Jewish History in Philadelphia.
The exhibit, based on oral histo-
ries and diaries, includes artifacts,
garments and photographs. It
shows how immigrant women,
confronted with the anguish and
joy accompanying living in a new
country, made choices to become
American through their clothing
and lifestyle.
The Detroit exhibit wants to
personalize the presentation by
showcasing local items and offer-
ing educational programs.
The exhibit is scheduled to be
on display at the Detroit Histori-
cal Museum from November 1996
to May 1997. According to Ms.
Zieve, the Society has raised
$20,000, but there is a $100,000
fund-raising goal. Patrons are
needed as well as committee
members and artifacts. For more
information, call the Detroit His-
torical Society's development man-

winner of a Yak! art and es-

Free Press. Ms. Jacobs
drew a picture of an Amer-

it floating above the White
House. She mentioned in
her essay that she wanted
to be the first female pres-
ident of the United States
because she has many
ideas to help the homeless
and stop violence. The com-
