Description
Sarah L. Knox-Goodrich is the only woman who has a portrait and biographical sketch in this 1881 History of Santa Clara County. These types of county histories were published all over the United States in the 1880s. The history part of the book was paid for by the people who would buy the book if their biography was included in the biographical section on early settlers. It is very rare for a woman to have a biography in an 1880s county history. The biographical sketch of Mrs. Knox-Goodrich mentions her work on behalf of her sex including involvement with Suffrage Associations at local, state and national levels. Includes two pages. This is a recent gift, donated in poor condition and without cover. Three other copies of this title are in SCCL Locked case collection. Have been using this copy as an office copy to make photocopies from. So don't worry if scanning further loosens bindings.
