From 1850-1920 women all across America stepped out into public life-sometimes quietly, sometimes at center stage. This one mile, 90-minute guided walking tour focuses on the lives of women from Bath - a 19th century maritime behemoth - of varying backgrounds who made waves in the law, the arts, in politics, civil rights, social issues, health care, and more.
As we walk, we will trace the progress women made in speaking out and gaining rights, freedom, and independence in a world that pushed back. Their husbands and fathers were renowned sea captains and shipbuilders, and not always supportive. Stand outside their houses-from an Italianate mansion with a widow's walk to modest middle class Greek Revivals with simple trim-imagining the echoes of gatherings and whispered hopes for change.
Guided by an infectious local educator, the tour will include time for questions and conversation. Join us for an inspiring journey and reserve your spot today!
