These are the dreams of those who immigrated to the Americas, then the years multiplied until they became centuries, to bring new opportunities rich in the treasures of the earth with its generous natural resources. That was California, which shook the dust of wars and declared its independence under the US federal flag.California took a pause in the annals of history in the year 1848, to smile at the urgency and start its economic history full of giving with a foreign immigrant’s pick who discovered gold in it to set off internal migrations from the American East to cross the thousand princes by land and thousands of sea miles to reach the land of dreams. These travellers, women accompanied men at the beginning of the migrations in small numbers, but they soon increased and became a social structure that provides men with economic support and unparalleled creativity.These trips were accompanied by an expansion in the immigration of women from inside and outside to exceed the social origins of women in California.
