111 Places in Women's History in Washington DC That You Must Not Miss reveals the rich tapestry of women's history embedded in the fabric of Washington, DC. This city, renowned as a leading global tourist destination, has witnessed the evolution of women as pioneers within its borders. Initially created to house the federal government, the capital developed into an affluent city brimming with feminist culture.

Historic houses, secluded alleyways, and neighbourhood parks stand testament to America's founding mothers, whose legacies helped shape the nation's capital. This book invites readers to explore the imprints of these women on headstones, street signs, and buildings, and to uncover unmarked chapters of hidden history. Emerging from strong roots, modern DC women continue to build upon the legacy of their foremothers as chefs, artists, athletes, philanthropists, politicians, and entrepreneurs. Their stories of collaboration challenge the myth that nothing gets accomplished in Washington.

Feminism in the city thrives on the creativity, leadership, and resilience of local women, each possessing a uniquely special narrative. While no two stories are alike, themes of preservation and progress resonate throughout this book as a reminder that her story is history, and it is still being written.

About the Author

Kaitlin Calogera embarked on a journey of entrepreneurship when she launched A Tour Of Her Own, the first tourism company in Washington, DC to focus exclusively on women's history. As a licensed tour guide, she recognised a lack of women's stories being represented in public spaces so she mobilised her community to reframe the traditional narrative through special events and historical tours. With a degree in History and a background coaching women's athletics, Kaitlin believes in the power of tourism to promote gender equality and education beyond the classroom. Rebecca Grawl is a professional DC tour guide with more than a decade's experience in public history, museum education, and tourism and is particularly proud of her involvement as a founding member of A Tour of Her Own, the first tour company in DC to focus exclusively on women's history. She is a proud graduate of Randolph-Macon Woman's College, member of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution as well as an alumnae and senior leader with the National Society Children of the American Revolution. Rebecca can be seen on Mysteries at the Museum on the Travel Channel, heard on the Tour Guide Tell All podcast, and has been featured in local press outlets such as WAMU/DCist, Washingtonian, Washington City Paper, and more. Cynthia Schiavetto Staliunas is an internationally awarded and published fine art and destination photographer based in the Washington, DC area. With a background in psychology and cosmetology, her mission is to revolutionise the way women see themselves through her photography, with a focus on and passion for phototherapy and women's empowerment. She enjoys travelling the world and learning new languages.
