IN THE NEWS



Gale
Berkeley Women
Mobilized Early On

By Angela Hill

They probably wouldn't have called it girl power back then. Perhaps something more decorous such as ladies of fortitude or gentlewomen's adroitness. Maybe even matronly might. Regardless, women in Berkeley got things done around and about the turn of the last century. Details of all this rich her-story can be found in a new exhibit at the Berkeley History Center titled appropriately, "Early Berkeley Women: 1878-1953," which runs through March and was curated by Berkeley Lab’s Phyllis Gale, who works in financial services. Full story.
