"As teenagers Leila Curtis and her sister Mary became fascinated with the process of copper engraving. Both parents having a background in engraving encouraged their daughters’ interest. Soon the sisters opened an engraving shop in the carriage house of their San Francisco home at 1117 Pine Street. Mary became the draughtsman i. E. the artist and Leila the block-cutter. That endeavor led to a shop downtown and eventually a partnership called Crane and Curtis 1871. Mary withdrew from the business when she married Thomas Richardson in 1869. Her life’s work became painting; the Richardson house became a mecca for artists and writers." from Found SF website "Mrs. Agnes B Peterson was one such woman who arrived in 1868. Upon being rebuffed by the Union she raised the capital to open her own printing office and establish the Women’s Co-operative Printing Union WCPU the first permanent foothold for woman printers in San Francisco. The times had already started changing with women becoming a significant part of San Francisco life. Other organizations helping women had been established that same year: the confusingly similar sounding Women’s Co-operative Union to provide employment for women in various fields and the California Labor Exchange to help both men and women find work.
