“Gilbert Girls: Three Generations of Remarkable Wauwatosa Women” is the story of Nancy Green Gilbert, Mary Fisher Gilbert, and Kate Evelyn Gilbert – all west side Wauwatosa residents.  Nancy, the mother of ten children, was a true pioneer, one of the first to settle in Wauwatosa Township.  Nancy’s daughter-in-law, Mary, came of age during Wauwatosa’s heyday, witnessing the changes as our small settlement became a village, a city, and finally a bedroom community of Milwaukee.  Last but not least, Mary’s youngest daughter, spunky Kate Evelyn, resisted the wrecking ball when her childhood home was removed to make way for the new Mayfair Mall.  Three generations. One family. A century of change – told through the lives of three marvelous Gilbert Girls.
