THE WHIP is inspired by the true story of a woman, Charlotte
'Charley' Parkhurst (1812-1879) who lived most of her extraordinary
life as a man. As a young woman in Rhode Island, she fell in love
with a runaway slave and had his child. The destruction of her
family drove her west to California, dressed as a man, to track the
killer. Charley became a renowned stagecoach driver for Wells
Fargo. She killed a famous outlaw, had a secret love affair, and
lived with a housekeeper who, unaware of her true sex, fell in love
with her. Charley was the first woman to vote in America (as a
man). Her grave lies in Watsonville, California.
