Roxbury Women's History

The names and stories of Roxbury's men are familiar to most people. But how many stories do you know about Roxbury's prominent women? Dr. Z, Susan Dimock, Melnea Cass, Muriel Snowden, Elma Lewis, and others made important contributions to the neighborhood, Boston, and American society. Explore their histories and see their legacies on a fascinating tour led by members of the Boston Women's Heritage Trail.
Participants will also enjoy a visit to the Huntington Theater for a brief conversation with staff about August Wilson's play "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom."
