Ferminia Sarras . She was a Nicaraguan immigrant who came to Nevada in the late 1800s with her husband (who died soon after) and four daughters. Investors scoured the state, hoping to cash in on the next bonanza, and Ferminia’s claims attracted a lot of attention. She became a regional celebrity who paved the way for women miners and was also nicknamed Nevada’s Copper Queen because of her talent for finding copper, which wasn’t as easy as gold and silver. She spent her whole life not only mining, but traveling back and forth from the desert to San Francisco. Once she would gather large sums of money, she would ride to the city and blow her fortune on fancy hotels, fine dining, and hoards of younger men. As soon the money was gone, she would say, “I guess I better get back to the desert.” She’d return to her mines, don her overalls, and take to the hills again, looking for gold, silver, and copper. . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #day21 #treasure #ferminiasarras #nevada #copperqueen #firstfemaleminer #badasswomen
Ruth Harkness . She was an American fashion designer and socialite, who traveled to China in 1936 and stole the first live giant panda to the United States - not in a cage, or on a leash, but wrapped in her arms. In 1934, her husband Bill Harkness had traveled to China in search of a panda, but died of throat cancer in Shanghai early in 1936. His widow Ruth, then living in New York City, decided to complete the mission herself. When she completed her mission successfully, bringing Su Lin the panda to the Brooklyn zoo, she helped tremendously increase public animal conservation efforts. . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #day20 #tread #ruthharkness #harkness #panda #fashiondesigner #animalconservation #badasswomen
