Description
Sacramento has light rail, the American River Parkway, a million trees, a vibrant arts scene, backyard chickens, and much more, because trailblazing women championed them, advocated for them, and voted for them. We Can Do This! Sacramento's Trailblazing Political Women takes a deep dive into the stories of women who shaped Sacramento from 1972 to 2014, and also reveals a clear path for young women of today to follow to become the trailblazers of tomorrow.

CHRISTINE HUNTER was in the thick of it during the period Sacramento's trailblazing political women started to make their mark on the community. She served as a volunteer lobbyist for the Environmental Council of Sacramento, was a member of the Sacramento City Planning Commission, and was community relations consultant for Sacramento's 18-mile light rail starter line. She co-managed campaigns, served in a "kitchen cabinet," and helped many women candidates by plotting, scheming, licking envelopes, and walking precincts.
