Historian Dr. Tracy Prince and her daughter and co-author Zadie Schaffer will present their book, Notable Women of Portland, which uncovered overlooked parts of Portland history -- from 10,000 years of Native American women, pioneer women, women of the Progressive Era, WWI, WWII, post-war women, and women in arts and politics. Many women made their mark and radically changed the Oregon frontier.
