THE IMMIGRANT, RADICAL, NOTORIOUS WOMEN OF WASHINGTON SQUARE In few other places on earth have so many notable women lived and achieved. For the last 150 years, it has seen an unparalleled variety of women – working class, gentry, radical, literary, academic, theatrical, convict, and immigrant – remarkable women who left their imprints on the Washington Sq. neighborhood – and beyond. Highlights of the tour — literary, art, and theatre iconoclasts:
- The salon of Mable Dodge, a center of WW I-era activism
- The tragedy of the Triangle fire and its role in the labor movement
- The Suffrage Movement
