Maria Ascension “Cen” Dallidet and the Legacy of a Founding Family of San Luis Obispo
|
On Friday September 9th, join the History Center of SLO County for our next Carnegie Lecture, “Maria Ascension “Cen” Dallidet and the Legacy of a Founding Family of San Luis Obispo” with Kathleen Cairns.
At long last, we put the spotlight on the women of the Dallidet family, especially eldest daughter Maria Acension - known to all by the nickname Cen - as well as her younger sister Rose. Kathleen Cairns, a member of the History Center's Board of Directors, taught History/Women's Studies at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and at California State University Sacramento. Before that she was a journalist in Long Beach, CA. She holds a Ph.D. in history from UC Davis, and is the author of six books--all focused on women and California history. |
