Deb will introduce several nineteenth-century women who defied the societal constraints defining gender, race, and class to assume careers ordinarily off-limits for women. Asserting their courage, ambition, and skills as gunfighters, business entrepreneurs, published authors, political activists, and journalists, they made their own living on their own terms. The late nineteenth century and early twentieth century produced more than modern innovations. This era launched the role models, forebears of the modern woman, who strove for personal
independence and achievement. Co-sponsored by Chippewa Valley Learning in Retirement. No registration required.
