THE TOPIC: The Civil War rocked the foundation of American daily life and changed the sociopolitical landscape, with the nation’s capital at its epicenter. Men went off to fight, and women found themselves in the unique position of supporting themselves. How did the women who called Washington home make it through those tumultuous times?
Join us on a virtual tour to hear about how the women of Washington, DC managed to survive not only the war, but leave an indelible mark on American history through their hard work and perseverance in roles as far-reaching as lawyer, seamstress, spy, and the only female Medal of Honor recipient.
THE DETAILS: A recording of the tour will be available for one week before expiring. Join us on Zoom to communicate with our tour guide in real time! Share comments and messages through the chat box during the tour or hop on video after the program for a meet and greet. This tour is a digital presentation in which our public historians highlight places relevant to women's history in the Washington, DC area. This is not a live tour through the city but rather a presentation of multimedia resources accompanied by professional storytelling.
