CLARA BROWN: A former enslaved woman who became one of Colorado’s most beloved pioneers. ALBINA WASHBURN: A radical reformer and suffragist who spent her life working for political, economic, and social change. KATRINA MURAT: An adventurous spirit who was, perhaps, Colorado’s only countess. MARY MELISSA HALL: A South Park ranchwoman who provided a haven for weary travelers and later helped bring Christian Science to Denver. MARIA DOLORES BALLEJOS: One of the earliest settlers in the San Luis Valley whose descendants continue the fight to retain the land she cultivated. AUGUSTA TABOR: An industrious entrepreneur who forged a new life after her husband’s betrayal and the ensuing national scandal. ELIZABETH BYERS: A Denver philanthropist who brought compassion and generosity to her new state. TSASHIN: A Ute woman who successfully advocated for the release of Anglo captives during the Meeker Incident, yet she was forced from her homeland.
