Women's lives and achievements have enriched the history of Boston for almost four centuries, yet the significance of their stories is often overlooked. Patriots, intellectuals, abolitionists, suffragists, artists, and writers - Boston women have always played an integral role in shaping history.The Boston Women's Heritage Trail tells some of these diverse and remarkable stories, and forever weaves Boston women back into the fabric of the "city upon a hill." The Boston Women’s Heritage Trail (BWHT) is a nonprofit membership organization founded in 1989 as a program of the Boston Public Schools. Through educational programs, publications, and outreach initiatives, the BWHT is dedicated to weaving the lives and work of women back into the story of the City of Boston. The Trail publishes a guidebook and brochures of self-guided walks, a regular newsletter and teaching materials, presents programs and guided tours, hosts events, and supports the work of independent scholars.
