Costco to Host Book Signing for Local Stockton Author

Mary Jo Gohlke will be available to sign copies of pictorial history
 
STOCKTON, Calif. - Nov. 17, 2014 - PRLog -- Women played prominent roles during Stockton’s growth from gold rush tent city to California leader in transportation, agriculture and manufacturing. Heiresses reigned in the city’s nineteenth-century mansions.

In the twentieth century, women fought for suffrage and helped start local colleges, run steamship lines, build food empires and break the school district’s color barrier.

Writers like Sylvia Sun Minnick and Maxine Hong Kingston chronicled the town. Dolores Huerta co-founded the United Farm Workers. Harriet Chalmers Adams caught the travel bug on walks with her father, and Dawn Mabalon rescued the history of the Filipino population. Join Mary Jo Gohlke, news writer turned librarian, as she eloquently captures the stories of twenty-two triumphant and successful women who led a little river city into state prominence.
