Join Women’s eNews to celebrate Women's Equality Day and discover women’s history in downtown Manhattan on a guide led walking tour.

The tour brings to life both famous and forgotten women and emphasizes their shared experience of overcoming obstacles in a society that, although always improving over time, was consistently unreceptive of their achievements.
