Women’s eNews is excited to host the next Women’s History Walk of downtown Manhattan just in time for Women’s History Month and the beginning of spring. “Opening the Way” will be led by Women’s eNews founder and editor-in-chief Rita Henley Jensen and Women’s eNews Women’s History Associate Angela Dallara on Sunday, March 27 beginning at 11 AM. The walk will begin at the Women’s eNews office, wind over toward City Hall Park and through Park Row, go down Nassau
After the walk, visitors will gather back at the Women’s eNews office for a special documentary screening of PBS’s “Triangle Fire,” directed and produced by Jamila Wignot. The film marks the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, in which 146 people tragically died. All but 23 were women, and nearly half were teenagers. Many were also immigrants. On the Women’s History Walk, we visit a site associated with Frances Perkins, who witnessed the fire while drinking tea with a friend inGreenwich Village . Perkins later set up hearings in the Singer Building
This year also marks the 10th anniversary of theWorld Trade Center St. Paul
Therefore, this year’s Women’s History Month is an especially good time to recall the sacrifices and contributions of both exceptional and everyday women in American society. Please join us! RSVP at events@womensenews.org. Tickets will be $20 per person for the walk and the documentary screening will be free, but spots are limited for both events, so plan in advance!
