TRAIL BLAZERS: California's first pioneer women are finally given their turn in 'Her Side of the Story.'
Not that anyone needs an excuse to visit the delightfully retro environs of History Park in San Jose. But opening this month is a promising program for anyone interested in California history. As its title implies, Her Side of the Story: Tales of California Pioneer Women features 30 first-person accounts of women who arrived in California in the first years of statehood. The exhibit is based on a ledger that documented women’s stories in California before 1854. It also includes 40 portraits of unidentified pioneer women to create a fuller picture of women’s lives during the Gold Rush.Her Side of the Story
