Walk Her Way New York City : A Walking Guide to Women’s History

An illustrated guide of 10 walking tours through New York City neighbourhoods that highlight the stories and accomplishments of women.

Walk Her Way New York City is a collection of 10 curated walking tours through New York neighborhoods, each celebrating the city''s history and the women that have made their mark here. Authors Jana Mader and Kaitlyn Allen have meticulously researched and traced the city blocks, uncovering important landmarks, events and women''s stories, both well-known and forgotten, to create a series of fun and eye-opening walks that connect you to the city that surrounds you.

Featuring beautiful illustrated maps and portraits by Aja O''Han, each walk covers a different neighborhood, including Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo, Central Park, Chelsea, Chinatown, East Side, Greenwich Village, Harlem, Midtown, Roosevelt Island, and SoHo. The walks can be done individually or paired together for an ultimate walking history lesson. While some stops along the walks are worth an extended visit, such as a museum, others are marked as “on the way.” All include significant landmarks of women''s history, some of them not yet memorialized. The stories and events of famous and lesser-known women come alive within the pages of the book and on each street corner, as readers can walk in the steps of this diverse set of creative women.
