Women Movers & Shakers Tour: Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire 

From breaking new ground in music, art, literature, fashion and medicine, to advancements in working conditions and women's rights, the women of the Lower East Side played an invaluable role in shaping politics and culture in America and around the globe. The Lower East Side is the birthplace of the Women's Suffrage movement, Planned Parenthood, Visiting Nurse Services, Children's Aid Society, International Ladies Garment Workers Union, Catholic Worker, Mother Earth magazine, experimental Off-Broadway theater, and so many more institutions and movements spearheaded by these pioneering women.
