Badass Women of NYC
Discover the badass women who built New York City.
How many women who shaped New York City can you name?
Chances are, not many. And that’s okay. These aren’t the stories most of us were taught in school.
Behind New York’s famous skyline is a deeper history, shaped by women who led, built, resisted, organised, and imagined something better. But their names are rarely found on plaques or monuments.
Our tours bring their stories to life.
You’ll walk through streets where women changed laws, opened doors, and held their communities together. You’ll stand in the places where protests began, movements grew, and the future started to shift — from publishing and politics to finance, labour, the arts, and civil rights.
These aren’t side notes or footnotes. They’re the stories that shaped this city, and they’ll stay with you long after the walk ends.

Antonia Pantoja founded ASPIRA, took the Board of Education to federal court, and won the legal precedent that created bilingual education as we know it in most the USA.
