MARIE SUIZE PANTALON:
ITINERARY OF A PIONEER
MONDAY, MARCH 14, 10:30 PM
Marie Suize trailblazed her way from France in 1850 during the Gold Rush in California. She became a successful gold miner and winemaker in a cosmopolitan and masculine universe. She was arrested many times for wearing men's clothes. She decided to appropriate this as part of her identity and claimed the name Marie Pantalon. She became famous and was much talked about in the newspapers, but completely fell into oblivion. History did little to acknowledge her until 2004 when Amador County celebrated its 150th anniversary and decided to honor the memory of Marie Pantalon by naming her Sesquicentennial Woman of the Year.
