Covered Wagon Women, Volume 7: Diaries and Letters from the Western Trails, 1854-1860
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Some of the women traveling west in the late 1850s were strong advocates of equal rights for their sex. On the trail, Julia Archibald Holmes and Hannah Keziah Clapp sensibly wore the "freedom costume" called bloomers. In 1858 Holmes joined the Pikes Peak gold rush and was the first woman of record to climb the famous mountain.
