Private or Group | Great Women of New York Walking Tour

Women have shaped every aspect of the city’s growth since before it was founded!

This tour explores the pivotal women have played in the development of NYC and tells the hidden stories of the female pioneers whose contributions made this city into a great metropolis. We begin with the story of the new matriarchs of the Lenape Indians, the original Native American inhabitants. We then tell the stories of women trailblazers including the only women to start a village in colonial America, the first woman to be injured in fighting during the Revolutionary War, enslaved women, woman suffragists, Wall Street pioneers, religious leaders, groundbreaking writers, social justice crusaders, philanthropists, and 9/11 heroes.
