As a member of Michigan Women's Task Force on Rape, she helped draft the rape reform law subsequently used as a model in virtually every other state. GWEN FROSTIC. In tiny Benzonia, southwest of Traverse City, Frostic runs her nationally known Presscraft Papers, an enterprise on 285 acres that prints her rustic designs and verse on stationery, napkins, books, calendars and greeting cards. Combining a love of nature with the production values she could have learned when she worked at a World War II bomber plant, Frostic, 80, churns out her goods for more than 100,000 regular mailorder customers.

ELIZABETH CROSBY. University of Michigan Medical School's first woman full professor, she was the nation's foremost authority on the anatomy and evolution of the brain. Her was awarded a National Medal of Science award in 1979. She taught up until her death, in 1983 at age 95, commuting from her Ann Arbor home to her part-time job at the University of Alabama. MARJORIE SWANK MATTHEWS.

The first woman Methodist Church bishop, she was a divorced mother, working as a secretary to support herself and her son in her native Onoway, when she entered Central Michigan University. She went on to earn a doctorate in theology, becoming a noted Methodist Old Testament scholar. As a Wisconsin bishop, she led 131,000 United Methodists, retiring shortly before her death this year. MARY CHASE PERRY STRAT-TON. The late ceramic artist founded, with the support of inventor Horace Caulkins, Detroit's 75-year-old, nationally known Pewabic Pottery.

The two developed firing techniques still used, and she devised the iridescent glazes for tiles that grace the Detroit Institute of Arts, Holy Redeemer Church, Detroit Public Library and other buildings in 20 states and two foreign countries. MALL OF FAME, from Page 1B md: "I've regretted what I've seen as 8h4ack of fight in younger women tSilay. They think the battle is over. There's a passivity that shouldn't be, as kjjlg as there's prejudice against worn-ejk'We shouldn't rest until it's wiped oat. I'm still mad that we didn't get the vote until 1920." Thomas' strategy, like that of John V.

Kennedy, whose inauguration marked her own into the White House, has been not merely to get mad, but even. When, in 1959, the State Department scheduled visiting Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev to deliver his only address to the press at the then men-only National Press Club, she and other newswomen protested, winning a few seats at the luncheon. But she got the best revenge when, in 1972, she became the club's first woman officer. i.

She later became the first woman president of the White House Correspondents Association; the first woman member of Washington's Gridiron Club, a century-old journalistic fraternity, and the first woman White House bureau chief for a major wire service. She was the first woman to open a presidential press conference, substituting once for her boss, the late UPI reporter Merriman Smith, who carved out the honorary role. "I've watched her knock down a lot Of barriers," Geha says. "Helen has been making history while covering history." UP in Detroit as one of nine children of Lebanese parents, neither, of whom could read or write, Thomas! honed, over rowdy family political: discussions, her acerbic wit and acute sense of justice. At her Eastern High School newspaper she discovered the lure of the byline.

"I guess I got hooked," she says. "Maybe I like celebrity status." Fresh out of Wayne State University, she went to war-time Washington, landing a job as a copy girl for the now defunct Washington Daily News and then as a writer of local radio news at UPI. She survived the post-war ouster SQQ50 VIDEOTAPE SPECIALS! Bcolch VMS T-120 EO Of Bata L-750 EO $A69 SALE Scotch VHS T-120 EXO (High Qrwto) $6" Sale ends 1025.

I Ben Cooper ADULT GORILLA SUIT One size fits all. Rubies of women to make room for returning vets because, she says, "No one wanted to come to work at 5:30 in the morning, to do such a lowly job at $24 a week." Kennedy was elected, Thomas, had covered the Justice Department and a string of other federal agencies, was assigned to report on his going to church on Sunday. She hung on, installing herself in the White House press room until her bosses came to regard her as one of the regulars. The press's big boys covered the big news, and Thomas, with colleague Lewine of the AP, mostly covered Camelot's women, children and animals, including the death of Caroline's pet hamster. (Thomas called press secretary Pierre Salinger at 3 a.m.

to confirm it.) Over 26 years she parlayed her slot as low woman on the totem pole into inquisitional premiere of the White House, essentially by always being there arriving at the White House press room around 7 a.m. and rarely going home before 7 p.m., lasting everyone out. "We knew that she worked on stories round-the-clock, getting no sleep," says Geha, one of dozens of Michigan nieces and nephews who grew up hearing stories of her journalistic exploits. "She always told us she had a bag packed at the ready when Johnson was in tbe White House, because on a whim he'd take off for his ranch in Texas. When Ford was in Grand Rapids running for election, we put her to bed at three in the morning so that she could turn around and get up at six." Thomas has called herself a lifelong women's libber, wrapping herself up in her career, deferring marriage (to AP's Doug Cornell, who died in 1982) until she was 51, and crusading for the public's right to know.

"The only way you should go as a reporter is to ask hard questions of governmental officials," she says. In her book, "Dateline: White House," she wrote: "On my epitaph, I want only one word: WHY?" Other Hall of Fame inductees: ELMINA LUCKE, 96. Founder of Detroit's International Institute, she established a staff that spoke 27 languages to provide social services to the half-million immigrants who flooded Detroit in the early '20s. She was the lirst woman accepted into Columbia University's doctoral International Law and Relations program, going on to found a high school in her hometown of Carleton. As a national YMCA representative, she established the first graduate school of social work in 1947 in India, where she had struck up an acquaintance with Ghandi.
