GO WEST, YOUNG WOMAN:
Ten Daring Divas Who Did It Their Way
Go West, Young Woman: Ten Daring Divas Who Did It Their Way is a two-hour walking tour by, for, and of the ladies. With a ratio of 56 men to each woman in 1849, San Francisco was only for the women who were strong of mind or strong of body. (Keep this in mind, boys: the Frontier Gal did everything the Frontier Guy did--only she did it in a corset.)
On this diva-led walking tour, we'll cover ten wild women who left their legacy on San Francisco's landscape, from Isadora Duncan to Maya Angelou to Lillie Coit. You'll even learn about comedienne Phyllis Diller, who challenged women of her time with this: "Do you grab for all the gusto you can get? Or is it impossible because your hand is covered with an oven mitt?"
Schedule: Saturdays at 1 PM throughout May
