What would you do if you needed $10,000—and fast? How about pulling a publicity stunt…like walking all the way across the United States? Of course, today, that might not sound like such a feat, but in 1896, a trek cross-country might as well have been a trek to the moon—especially for the daring mother-daughter duo at the heart of The Year We Were Famous. Helga and Clara encountered more than physical obstacles as they walked from Washington State to New York City, but their journey remains a testament to what any courageous, persistent woman—or man—is capable of.
