Hookers, Healers & Heroines: A Tour of Her Own (Virtual)

Thursday, March 14

7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Registration Required Below Join us for a virtual tour to learn about some incredible women who lived in the nation's capital during the Civil War. Our virtual guide from A Tour of Her Own will illustrate how heroines navigated this tumultuous era and how each one  managed to leave an indelible mark on American history through varied roles, including as lawyer, seamstress — and even as a spy. The Civil War rocked the foundation of American daily life and changed the sociopolitical landscape, and the nation’s capital was its epicenter. While men went off to fight, a few brave women found ways to support both their families and their country. Stories are inspired from the lives of Elizabeth Keckley, Belva Lockwood, Dr. Mary Walker, Clara Barton and Charlotee Grimké. Register below to receive a Zoom link the day of the program. Include a cell for a text reminder. About Our Presenter A Tour of Her Own was founded in 2018 as the first tourism company in Washington, DC to focus exclusively on women's history.
