Why Sarah Van der Vort Emery

"Updated Prospectus [Repost from class / student forum]

I've changed my research paper subject. Originally I was going to focus on P. W. Norris, the colorful founder of Nortown, now a neighborhood in the east side of Detroit. However I decided if I had done a topic I'm already quite familiar with, that went against the spirit of the assignment... of learning something new.

However, during our reading of Chapter 20 [textbook: Michigan: A History of the Wolverine State], saw the passage on page 386 about Sarah Van der Vort Emery and her popular paper Seven Financial Conspiracies and how that had sold over 400,000 copies. I wanted to know more and was quite surprised there was no Wikipedia article about her. Deeper searching there was a stub on her based on an entry from a who's who book and a page on some property she owned that is now registered historical place. There was scant info on Google searches, but what I did find, still surprised me more that she was seemingly well known in her time, but is now mostly forgotten.

For this reason I have chosen to write about her and her works and I intend to use this opportunity to use what I write for the expressed purpose of making a Wikipedia article featuring her and is written in that format, for the most part. After class has ended for the semester, grades been published, I will create the Wiki page (fill in the stub, that is) and editors willing, it will be published there.

Admittedly I do have some reservations on the this topic. Foremost monetary policy is not something I'm keenly interested in. Worse I'm familiar with some populist libertarian ideology from the aughts that really ran with a renewed interest in bimetalism, which in the last decade much of the crypto currency contingent (and real recently the MAGA folks are into), which admittedly has relevancy in our current times but something I personally don't want to get into. And I already found once source (With some significant errors, like attributing Sarah Emery for books she didn't write but just referenced her most popular works), and has a Rothchild conspiracy website as it citations. https://www.documents.alexanderstreet.com/d/1010596229"
