About this listen

Dive into the captivating life of Mary Ellen Pleasant, an enigmatic figure whose journey from Nantucket to San Francisco makes her a groundbreaking feminist icon. Born into mystery and uncertainty, Mary defied societal norms, becoming a pioneering force in business, civil rights, and the abolitionist movement. 


Next is Marion Carpenter, the trailblazing photographer who defied gender norms to become the first female national press photographer covering White House activities. Marion's journey from St. Paul, Minnesota, to the hallowed halls of the White House is a testament to her resilience, talent, and the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field.
