Summary
  • "Smart, ambitious, competitive, and courageous, Belinda Mulrooney was destined through her legendary pioneering in the wilds of the Yukon basin to found towns and businesses. She built two fortunes, supported her family, was an ally to other working women, and triumphed in what was considered a man's world. Belinda overcame the challenges that confronted her, including poverty, prejudice, a lack of schooling, and the early loss of her parents.
  • Her travels took her from her native Ireland as a young girl to a coal town in Pennsylvania, to the Chicago Exposition of 1893, to San Francisco, to Alaska, to the Yukon gold rush, and to Paris."--BOOK JACKET.
