Women of Truckee Making History is a book that celebrates local women for their contributions to the community of Truckee, California.[1] It was compiled, designed and edited by two Truckee women, Parvin Darabi and Lydia Sparksworthy.[1]
The book is being published by the Dr. Homa Darabi Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to human rights issues mostly related to women. [1]
The criteria for selecting the 30 women required applicants to live or work full-time in Truckee, and “to be actively involved in voluntarism which required dedication above and beyond normal eight-to-five, 40-hours-a week paid employment.” [2]
