Great Women of Green-Wood
Join us in celebration of Women’s History Month by honoring some of Green-Wood’s most influential women of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Led by veteran tour guide Ruth Edebohls, hear the engaging story of pioneering doctors Susan McKinney Steward and Mary Jacobi; abolitionist Abigail Hopper Gibbons; 19th century actresses Laura Keene who was on stage during Lincoln’s assassination and Kate Claxton who continued performing during the Brooklyn Theater fire of 1876; and Isabella Goodwin, first woman detective in the NYPD, among many others!
