What They Didn't Tell You about Women's History

What will your legacy be?  March 1st kicks off Women's History Month and the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the great accomplishments of women of the past.  Many of whom were everyday women who were following their passion and just doing their part. 

Often these women are overlooked in history books but their enthusiasm continues to surge through women world-wide and their stories are passed down from generation to generation. 

When See Jane Do set out to capture the stories of everyday women doing extraordinary things we had no idea that one of the biggest stories of the women's movement reverberated so close to home.

The 19th amendment, giving women the right to vote, was formed in our home town of Nevada City, CA by Senator Aaron Sargent.  Senator Sargent and Ellen Clark Sargent (good friends of Susan B. Anthony and an active member of the National American Woman Suffrage Association) made their home atop Broad Street in what was once the third largest city in California.

Recently we learned from a former owner of the Sargent home that many activists of the women's suffrage movement took refuge in Nevada City at the Sargent's home for protection and inspiration. 

See Jane Do strives to continue the movement and serve as a hub for women's activism in Nevada City and beyond as we develop a safe platform for women's voices.

We hope you will join us in continuing the legacy of these extraordinary women by doing your part, acknowledging other incredible women and putting your passion into action.
