Activity Description
Go West, Young Woman: Ten Daring Divas Who Did It Their Way is a two-hour walking tour by, for, and of the ladies. With a ratio of 56 men to each woman in 1849, San Francisco was only for the women who were strong of mind or strong of body. (Keep this in mind, boys: the Frontier Gal did everything the Frontier Guy did—only she did it in a corset.)
On this diva-led walking tour, we'll cover ten wild women who left their legacy on San Francisco's landscape, from Isadora Duncan to Maya Angelou to Lillie Coit. You’ll even learn about comedienne Phyllis Diller, who challenged women of her time with this: "Do you grab for all the gusto you can get? Or is it impossible because your hand is covered with an oven mitt?"
Some tour highlights include:
- The matron who’s been overlooking Union Square for 50+ years
- Meet the Madonna of the 1800's (that’s a lot of material, girl!)
- Working Girls vs. Working Women
- One red hot woman and her burning desire to improve the City’s beauty
- Visit the street where the three divas lives’ intersected
- The mother of California civil rights
Starting near the shopping district of Union Square (no, you may not go into Saks!), you’ll visit the theatre district, Maiden Lane, Chinatown, and North Beach. Along the way you'll meet the feisty females who helped build this town and made the Wild West a little wilder.
What Is Not Included?
Meals are not included in the price of the Go West tour, but we often stop mid-way for a coffee or snack! Be sure to bring extra cash with you if you're interested in this, and we'll stop if the group is interested.
Gratuities are not included but are always appreciated.
