RAPID CITY, S.D. — March 8 is International Women’s Day, an annual event that raises awareness about gender inequality and celebrates strides women have made throughout history to close gender gaps. Hallie Daggett was one of those women. In 1913 she was hired as the first female fire lookout for the U.S. Forest Service. Daggett started work at the Eddy’s Gulch Lookout Station on top of Klamath Peak in Oregon. Many of the other Forest Service men thought that Daggett would be too frightened by the danger and loneliness involved in the work.
