The information in her published mini biography seems to conflict with information in the American Association of University Women page. Some fact checking will need to be done. Nyth83 (talk) 06:54, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Marie Kohler

Here is the info copied from the stub Marie Kohler

Born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, she was the daughter of John Michael Kohler. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin–Madison (B.L., 1901), she taught school in Sheboygan (1901–1904), and from 1905 to 1909 was secretary of the J. M. Kohler Sons Co. In the 1920s she became active in social work, and was president of the Wisconsin Conference of Social Work (1927–1930), and a delegate to the National Conference of Social Work in 1930. In 1924 she was instrumental in establishing the American Association of University Women.

She provided scholarships to Corcoran College of Art and Design for young people interested in the arts, including one to the future American glass artist Bernard O. Gruenke. - I have not found any documentation about this Nyth83 (talk) 19:02, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

She was a leader in the movement that led to the passage of the Wisconsin Children's Code (1929), and was prominent in the better-homes movement, the American Red Cross, and the Girl Scouts. With other members of her family, she helped establish Kohler Village and the Kohler Foundation, an educational and philanthropic organization.^[1]
