The other women portrayed include actress Maude Adams, school and hospital founder Mother M. Augusta (Anderson), theater and teaching pioneer Maud May Babcock, poet Sarah E. Carmichael, Ute leader Chipeta, silver queen Susanna Bransford Engalitcheff, legislator Alice Merrill Horne, Greek midwife Georgia Lathouris Mageras, socialite and builder of one of Salt Lake City's finest houses Elizabeth Ann McCune, United States Treasurer Ivy Baker Priest, Ladies Literary Club founder Eliza Kirtley Royle, artist Mary Teasdel, journalist Kuniko Muramatsu Terasawa, and Park City madam Mother Urban.
