💡In St. Augustine, Florida we are celebrating International Women’s Day by highlighting women the past — who are all responsible for the survival and success of America’s oldest city!

💡Timucua (native American) women - 3,000 BC -1763

💡Spanish women who came with founder Menendez - 1565-1763, during the First Spanish Period

💡Women of Fort Mose, 1738-1763, the first free African settlement legally sanctioned in what would become the United States. Precursor site of the Underground Railroad.

💡British Period women, 1763-1792, including Minorcans from Andrew Turnbull’s New Smyrna colony

💡Second Spanish Period women, 1784-1821

💡The U.S. period women, 1821-present, including the first Hispanic-American female lighthouse keeper, Maria Mestre de los Dolores Andreu.
