Women of Oakland Tour
Early Atlanta might have been a man’s world, but this city was built with the labor of women.
Monthly at 11 AM
From writers and domestic servants to reformers and mothers, Oakland Cemetery is home to thousands of women. Some defied social expectations or worked against racial discrimination to become trailblazers. Others created support systems that made change possible. All dealt with the issues, challenges, and social standards of being a woman in their day.
Hear their stories of pioneering, producing, and patriarchy-smashing during this 75-minute guided walking tour of Oakland Cemetery!
