Step into the glamour of the Gilded Age to meet the bold, creative, and determined women who helped shape New York City—but whose stories have too often been overlooked. Discover the lives and legacies of women including Elizabeth Keckley, Ann Lowe, Lucy Burns, and Emily Warren Roebling, and explore their influence on Brooklyn and NYC. We’ll also revisit the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and its lasting impact on labor rights and workplace safety.
Grab a drink, tour the showhouse and then settle in for a riveting discussion about our history. This interactive conversation is open to all ages. We’d love for you to bring the young women in your life to get inspired!
Led by Terese Brown, CEO of Terese Sydonna, and Jillian Gaeta, Co-Founder of Roots to Revolution, both born and raised in New York City.
