Mary Chilton Winslow was 12 years old and on her way to the New World...America. Legend has it that she raced John Alden to the front of the launch that was bringing the Mayflower passengers ashore. She won! and thus became the first woman to set foot on Plymouth Rock. Does that mean that she was also the first person?...history is not clear on this ... strongly suggesting to me that perhaps it was a woman who first set foot in the New World...Perhaps herstory would be different than history!
