Learn about the sisters of the Sons of Liberty and the lives of reformers, socialites, criminals, and madames who shaped the city of Boston. From the West End to Beacon Hill to the Back Bay, women’s impact is felt but not always seen. One hundred years before Rosa Parks, African American abolitionist Sarah Parker Remond refused to give up her seat while attending a play. Fiery activists Harriet Hemenway and Minna Hall led a boycott against bird plumage in ladies’ dress and brought the fashion industry to its knees. And West Ender Annie “Londonderry” took a trip around the world on a bicycle! Hear from author Dina Vargo as she explores the stories of the Wild Women of the Hub.


This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
