Discover the incredible women who built New York City! From hotel dining rooms where women quietly reinvented journalism, to libraries guarded by muses and masterminds, to streets where women fought for labor rights, education, public health, and cultural power, Manhattan is full of women’s stories that rarely make it into the official history books — and far too few people know.
This walk takes us from the Main New York Public Library (5th Ave & 42nd St) to Bryant Park. Along the way we’ll trace a suffrage march led by a woman who couldn’t vote, meet the model behind some of New York’s most famous statues, stand where sanitation workers and police leaders challenged what women were “allowed” to do, and explore how theatres, libraries, and public spaces became sites of quiet — and not so quiet — rebellion.
CRS Outings is made possible by generous support from Marcia and David Lavipour, and Maxine Schweitzer.
