From pioneering professionals to groundbreaking activists and maritime leaders, this walking tour brings to light the stories of women who fought against gender and racial discrimination to leave their mark on history. Discover the impact of those who established the first hospital staffed entirely by women, led the charge for workplace equality—including something as fundamental as a women’s restroom in the New York Stock Exchange—and much more. This engaging 90-minute journey winds through the streets of the South Street Seaport Historic District and Lower Manhattan, uncovering the often under-recognized contributions of the women who helped build this city. Registration is required. Tours are rain or shine. Content is appropriate for attendees aged 13 and up.
