"Great Women of NY" Walking Tour

Explore the pivotal role women have played in the development of New York City and hear the hidden stories of the female pioneers whose contributions made it into a great metropolis. This Inside Out tour of Lower Manhattan kicks off with the story of the matriarchs of the Lenape Indians, the original Native American inhabitants. You'll then learn about trailblazers like the only women to found a village in colonial America, the first woman to be injured in the Revolutionary War, as well as hearing inspiring true tales of slaves, suffragettes, Wall Street pioneers, religious leaders, ground-breaking writers, social-justice crusaders, philanthropists and even the female heroes of 9/11.
