In We Kept Our Towns Going: The Gossard Girls of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, published this year by Michigan State University Press, former Northern Michigan University First Lady Phyllis Wong tells the stories of the Gossard Girls, women who sewed corsets and bras at factories in Ishpeming and Gwinn from the early twentieth century to the 1970s. As the U.P.’s mines became exhausted and its stands of timber further depleted, the Gossard Girls’ income sustained both their families and the local economy.
