Time Out says

Climb aboard the trolley at Green-Wood Cemetery for a tour celebrating some of Green-Wood’s pioneering women and their remarkable stories. 

Learn about Grace Nail Johnson, civil rights activist and champion of the Harlem Renaissance; socialite and philanthropist Louisine Havemeyer, who was arrested for attempting to burn an effigy of Woodrow Wilson; entrepreneur Elizabeth Gloucester, whose fortune helped fund John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry; and many more women who challenged the social, cultural and political order of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The tour's on Saturday, March 16 at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
