Thriving in the Margins History from a Woman's Perspective

Old San Leandro

Two local authors share how they unearthed their female ancestors' hidden lives: one tracing her mother's path from Detroit laundries to wartime China, the other excavating women who survived at society's edges when they refused to fit the mold. Their stories remind us how past silences still echo today.
