An intellectual, humanitarian and suffragist, Georgiana raised her family in this house from 1854 until her death in 1887. Born in England and educated in the East by America’s leading thinkers and writers. She brought to California an intellectual fervor difficult from the pioneer town of Santa Cruz to comprehend. An early advocate of women’s rights, she founded the first Santa Cruz Society of Suffragists in 1869 and lobbied passionately for the vote. Her outspoken idea on social reform played a significant role in shaping attitudes in the new land. October 14, 1989 Monterey Viejo Chapter 1846 Mountain Charlie Chapter 1850 E Clampus Vitus
