Happy Birthday, California! #Onthisday in 1850, the state of California was admitted into the Union. California played a central role in the formation of a modern American aesthetic during the mid-twentieth century. Many of the Golden State’s most innovative artists and designers were women who faced great adversity due to prevailing gender inequality.
