Historic Women of Waukesha

History books about our area are replete with the men who made Waukesha famous, from spring prospectors like Col. Dunbar, musicians like Les Paul or politicians like Gov. William Barstow.

In celebration of Mother’s Day, let’s consider a few women from different eras and walks of life who were important to our fair city.
