Stories of astonishing women from California’s 1849 gold rush history.
What was it like for the women in California during the 1850’s? What hardships did they face? What victories were they able to realize? Who were the first women who came to California, and who was already here?
Explore the lives of brilliant people who made their own way, whose stories contributed to the shaping of the future of California and the United States, in a time where women were not so welcome to do so.
They are rarely talked about, and I want you to know their names.
