Yes, indeed, women have a good opportunity in the Klondike.
Good women have every chance to make money there, and the hardships are comparatively few.
In just a few weeks the Klondike became known throughout the world. A line of stampeders hike up the Chilkoot Pass trail carrying packs of a hundred pounds. Steps were formed out of ice and snow, and walking sticks helped to keep one's balance and maintain a steady pace. Gold fever infected tens of thousands of normally rational men and women with the delusion that they were the ones who were going to find the mother lode in the far off north. Many who traveled to the Klondike did not have the faintest idea where they were going, or what they would do once there.
