Herstory of the City, Part III
In celebration of Women’s History Month, I am telling but a handful of the stories of the amazing women who shaped this city, region, and the world. This week I explore the female entrepreneurs of early Kansas City who helped make our city what it is today.

Many would say that Kansas City’s professional sports run of the last decade is “unprecedented”. What Sporting KC, the Royals, and the Chiefs have accomplished has made this the golden era of Kansas City sports. But, it is not without precedent. This city was home to one of professional sports’ earliest dynasties. While the Chiefs, Royals, and even Athletics, called Municipal Stadium home, it was the house that the Monarchs built. The Kansas City Monarchs were this city’s first champions. Our first dynasty, they are the team that created our tradition of passionate sports fanaticism. These are their stories.

In Pendergast’s Kansas City, America’s truest original art form flourished. Hundreds of nightclubs sprang up across this midwestern den of wanton decadence which created ample opportunity for aspiring musicians. In the neighborhoods of 18th & Vine, new sounds were discovered. New Orleans may have given birth to jazz, and New York may be where it eventually settled down, but it was in Kansas City that jazz came of age.
