About this title

Synopsis

Paving the Way: Women's Struggle for Women s Political Equality in California weaves into a 170-year historical narrative the dramatic personal stories of dozens of mostly unsung and long-forgotten women who challenged traditional concepts of femininity and helped shape California s public landscape. With a foreword by California State Librarian Greg Lucas, Paving the Way takes us from the post-Gold Rush era and the decades-long fight for suffrage, through the turbulent and transformative 1960s and 1970s, into today's #MeToo movement. With a perspective shaped by a combined 150 years experience in journalism and public policy, the authors bring to life the grit, determination and resilience of these trailblazing women.
