This tour highlights the many women who made history in Jamaica Plain and beyond. Educational reformers, musicologists, scientists, doctors and suffragists — the contributions of these women are enormous and their stories are wonderful. Some names are quite well known (Sylvia Plath) while others are lesser known but no less astounding (Emily Greene Balch). Plan to learn about a collection of really amazing women all of whom called JP home.
This tour covers about 2 miles, so please wear sturdy shoes. It starts in Hyde Square and ends near the Arboretum!
