SUMMARY:Revolutionary Women Tours
DESCRIPTION:This March\, the Freedom Trail® Foundation will honor Women’s History Month with the return of the Revolutionary Women Tours.

These 90-minute tours feature tales of the early religious rebellions of Anne Hutchinson and Mary Dyer\, abolitionist movements of Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman\, landmark achievements of Black pioneers Phillis Wheatley and Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler\, prolific writings of Abigail Adams and Louisa May Alcott\, dynamic speeches of Margaret Sanger and Susan B.

Walk the paths these influential women treaded\, while visiting the places where their voices were heard\, works published\, and were laid to rest.   \nThe tours also feature official Freedom Trail historic sites from the site of the Great Elm on Boston Common\, where women paid the ultimate price for refusing to conform to puritanical values\, to the Granary Burying Ground\, where those who fought fiercely for independence are remembered alongside their revolutionary male counterparts\, the Old Corner Bookstore and Old South Meeting House\, where women made change through the power of literature and the spoken word. Revolutionary Women Tours culminate at Faneuil Hall\, the Cradle of Liberty\, which played a prominent role in both the abolitionist and women’s suffrage movements.
