Description
Discover the often-overlooked women who shaped Chicago on this 2-hour walking tour. Explore both women in art — the female figures historically used to symbolize ideas, places, and ideals — and women “in” art: the architects, artists, writers, publishers, designers, and cultural powerhouses who created Chicago themselves. Meet local heroes like Ida B. Wells, Jane Addams, Sophia Hayden, Bertha Palmer, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Jeanne Gang, and discover their stories in some of downtown Chicago’s most beautiful and extraordinary spaces — both indoor and outdoor. As with all of our tours, visit a few stunning, hidden interiors. This tour is a celebration of the success of this small, local, woman-owned business. Since 2014, Inside Chicago Walking Tours has been making its authentic, one-of-a-kind mark on Chicago’s fiercely competitive tourism industry with integrity and creativity, and this tour is a celebration of that — telling the story of women through the eyes of women.Includes
