Women of the Klondike

On July 14, 1897, the steamship Excelsior docked in San Francisco and a band of scruffy individuals, just returned from the far north, walked down the gangplank dragging suitcases and sacks that collectively held half a million dollars’ worth of gold. Their arrival sparked one of the most colourful episodes in northern history—the Klondike gold rush. Over the next few years, some 100,000 people from around the world set out to make their fortunes in the Klondike fields. Among them were a surprising number of adventurous women of every description: entrepreneurs, nurses, teachers, prospectors, nuns, prostitutes, journalists and wives. This is their story, mined from diaries, letters, memoirs and newspapers, and illustrated with archival photos.
