About this event
The Civil War rocked the foundation of American daily life and changed the sociopolitical landscape, with the nation’s capital at its epicenter. Men went off to fight, and women found themselves in the unique position of supporting themselves. Join us on a virtual tour to hear about how the women of Washington, D.C. managed to survive not only the war, but leave an indelible mark on American history through their hard work and perseverance in roles as far-reaching as lawyer, seamstress, spy and the only female Medal of Honor recipient. 2 p.m. $30. www.atourofherown.com // @atourofherown
