Sheila Michaels Collection

Sheila Michaels circa 1990s stares straight at the camera with a serious face. She is standing on a rocky coastline with her back to a body of water. Land is visible beyond the water. Her hair is short, she is wearing an olive-colored heavy coat, glasses, and black and silver earrings, and holding a bouquet of wildflowers. A light green shoulder strap is across her body with a button that reads "WAR IS TERRORISM".

Sheila Michaels was passionate about fighting for and protecting the rights of others. Through her work as a writer/editor who traveled extensively, she worked in the civil rights movement, the women’s movement, and as a scholar of Jewish biblical women. She was a defender of the oppressed and exploited.

The items in this online exhibit center around Ms. Michael’s life and her devotion to bringing to light injustice in the world.
