This program brings to light the contributions of some of the diverse and influential women in Princeton’s history, including immigrants, enslaved women, working women, and community leaders. Through their service to others, these trailblazers played key roles in the town’s development.

After working at a fruit-vending cart for years, she decides to take a job at a local Japanese restaurant. Intrigued by the food, she learns to make a multitude of sushi on her own. Eventually she attempts to become a sushi chef, but is unable to because she is the 'wrong' race and gender. Against all odds, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, determined to not let anyone stop her from achieving her dream.

Among other things, the book includes 404 encyclopedia-style entries, many of which recount the impact of women over the course of Princeton’s 276-year history. Some of the women are well-known, but many are not. Bob’s talk will highlight some names we probably know, and others that will probably be new to most of us.
