This book presents the compelling histories of fifteen pioneer women, all born before 1900, who traveled Nevada Territory in unstable wagons, on temperamental mules, and in early Motel Ts to leave a legacy of courage and celebration as they broke records, hearts, and rules while conquering uncharted ground. Meet Ferminia Sarras, a Nicaraguan immigrant with four young daughters who arrived in Nevada in the early 1800s determined to seek her fortune as a miner . . . and succeeded; Dat so la lee, a Washoe Indian renowned for her basket-weaving artistry whose work is today preserved in museums; and Anne Henrietta Martin, a lifelong suffragette who fought for women's rights and was instrumental in securing the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, giving women the right to vote.

Unforgettable Nevada Women is the Southern Nevada Women's History Project's third volume dedicated to recognizing the contributions of noteworthy Nevada women to the development and enrichment of the Silver State. Through interviews, public records, and private papers shared by friends and family, and collected historical accounts from newspapers and oral histories, volunteers have gathered together these stories of one hundred remarkable women. Nevada has been home to diverse and dynamic women, including the first woman owner and operator of a hotel-casino, the founder of Weight Watchers, the designer of the famous 'Welcome to Las Vegas' sign, and a nun whose Angel Bread saved a much-needed hospital from closing. Also included are stories of singers, dancers, actresses, community activists, government leaders, and a world expert on organic chemistry. Within these pages are also accounts of educators, artists, an internationally known hypnotist, Native American crusaders, and a judge. Just as Skirts that Swept the Desert Floor and Steadfast Sisters of the Silver State each chronicled the lives of one hundred amazing women in Nevada history, Unforgettable Nevada Women offers a tribute to the achievements of one hundred women who have made a lasting impact on Nevada life.

Women played prominent roles during Stockton's growth from gold rush tent city to California leader in transportation, agriculture and manufacturing. Heiresses reigned in the city's nineteenth-century mansions. In the twentieth century, women fought for suffrage and helped start local colleges, run steamship lines, build food empires and break the school district's color barrier. Writers like Sylvia Sun Minnick and Maxine Hong Kingston chronicled the town. Dolores Huerta co-founded the United Farm Workers. Harriet Chalmers Adams caught the travel bug on walks with her father, and Dawn Mabalon rescued the history of the Filipino population. Join Mary Jo Gohlke, news writer turned librarian, as she eloquently captures the stories of twenty-two triumphant and successful women who led a little river city into state prominence.

How is it that one small mountain town in northern New Mexico has succeeded in attracting and sustaining so many remarkable women over the years? This central question is at the heart of this exciting new celebratory book, The Remarkable Women of Taos. This book is the natural outgrowth of an unprecedented year-long community celebration honoring outstanding historic and contemporary women of Taos. The 167 women portrayed here share their passions, accomplishments, and advice - as well as their stories of challenges overcome. Taken together, these narratives provide a sampling of the breadth and depth of the remarkable women who call Taos home. From Mabel Dodge Luhan and Agnes Martin to Sherrie McGraw, Corina Santistevan and Sharon Dry Flower Reyna of today, Remarkable Women reveals the centuries-long role women have played in shaping this one-of-a-kind community.
