Terrace Talks, part 3

Progressive Women of Early 20th-Century San Diego
A conversation with Nancy Carol Carter, author and horticultural historian; Molly McLain, author and USD history professor; and Sarai Johnson, architectural historian and research professional, and Marston House historian

Three recognized female historians discuss the pioneering achievements of early 20th century San Diego women. Two of these historic figures are well-known, such as horticulturalist and nurserywoman Kate O. Sessions and La Jolla philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps. Others deserve wider recognition, including George and Anna Marston's four activist daughters, who worked for civil rights, voter registration in the Deep South and immigrant education; and Alice Klauber, a nationally prominent artist who helped organize the Fine Arts exhibition at the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in Balboa Park.
