Mina Van Winkle
Mina Caroline Ginger Van Winkle (March 26, 1875 - January 16, 1932) was a crusading social worker, suffragist, and groundbreaking police lieutenant. From 1919 until her death in 1932 she led the Women’s Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (in Washington D.C.), and became a national leader in the protection of girls and other women during the law enforcement and judicial process.〔 Her provocative statements about gender and morality in the jazz age brought her further national attention.
==Biography==
She was born Wilhelmina ("Mina") Caroline Ginger in New York City in 1875. From 1902 to 1905 she worked at Fernwood Home, a municipal reform school for girls in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. She graduated in 1905 from the social work program of the New York School of Philanthropy.〔(Hearings before the Subcommittee of the U.S. House Committee on Appropriations in charge of the District of Columbia Appropriation Bill for 1922 ), on December 8, 1920, pp. 635-648.〕
In 1905, while associated with the National Consumers League and the Newark Bureau of Associated Charities, she exposed the harsh conditions in which immigrant child laborers from Italy worked in New Jersey farm fields.〔Cindy Hahamovitch, “(The Fruits of their Labor ),” pp. 46-51 (UNC Press: 1997), citing Mina C. Ginger, “(Berry Field and Bog ),” Charities, vol XV (Nov. 1905).〕
On October 27, 1906 she became the second wife of Abraham Van Winkle, wealthy president of a manufacturing company (and a widower 36 years her senior) who had financially supported the Bureau of Associated Charities.〔"Millionaire Philanthropist Will Wed a Poor Girl," Logansport (IN) Journal, 1906-10-21, at p. 6.〕 During their marriage, she engaged in social work on a volunteer basis.〔 Her husband died on September 30, 1915, at age 76. She resided in Newark, New Jersey until approximately 1917.
