For example… Learn about the entrepreneur who immersed herself in real estate to escape an abusive marriage in the early 1900s. *Find out how the women of the YWCA ushered in desegregation. *Hear the tale of tenacity of a governess, employed in Asheville, who became the country's first female physician. *Learn about the 52 year career of a Black educator, who spent her days traveling by foot down country roads to one room schoolhouses and backwoods classrooms to raise the bar on the education of African Americans. *Find out about the first woman to practice law without male partners, and how she went on to become the first female legislator in the South. *...and much more! These are the stories of all women. Come be fascinated. Come be inspired! Our walking tours depart from "The Old Kentucky Home", Julia Wolfe's boarding house at Thomas Wolfe Memorial.
