Here's for some major female empowerment.
Women have done some rad stuff in history; much of which has been underreported or long forgotten. We've done our homework though and found many a local female badass in our city's backstory. Take a look at some of the coolest women to leave their mark on San Francisco history.
Frances Marion
San Francisco native Frances Marion was a reporter for the San Francisco Examiner, and a WWII combat correspondent, before writing screenplays for various films in the 1920s and '30s. She is considered the most renowned female screenwriter of the 20th century. Marion won two Academy Awards: one for writing 1931's The Big House, and the other for best story for Champ, in 1932. She also directed films, including those of actress Mary Pickford.
