As the annual conference of the Western Association of Women Historians convenes this week in Davis, California, we would like to remind  attendees that, in celebration of UC Press’s 125th anniversary, we are offering free online access to all UC Press journals during the month of April 2018. This free access includes the complete archives of Pacific Historical Review, California History, and Southern California Quarterly.
