Marie Suize, they called her "Marie Pantalon", born july 14 1824 in Thônes Royaume de Sardaigne (1720-1861), (today Haute-Savoie since the annexation of the Savoie by France in 1860). She died on the 8th of January 1892 near Jackson, California. A woman of strong caracter, she came to California during the Gold rush.

She works as hard as any man, defending herself and her concession with guns, and wears jeans so as to work, better than a skirt in her situation. This choice gets her in trouble with the Californian law. After much fighting she wins her law suit and gets the right to wear pants.
