REINA SANCHEZ
Late 30's, owner and bartender at The
Queen of Califa saloon. Raised from a good
family in Monterey, she has the street
smarts that have seen more than their share
of violence and discrimination. Based on
Mexican women at that time.
Before its annexation, California was under the
Spanish laws where a married woman retained
her property, wages, legal rights and even
maiden name, after marriage and remained as
economically autonomous as unmarried
woman.
