So often local history is told through the efforts of great men, but this one is told through the efforts of inspirational and powerful women!Stroll the streets and neighbourhood of historic Galt in Downtown Cambridge to meet the feisty trailblazers of local politics and the first woman mayor in Galt, and all of Waterloo County. We’ll meet women teachers who held their own in the ‘old boys school’, a widow who owned land which gave her the right to vote, an early land developer with ideas building a town, and women whose labour made the local textile factories very profitable!
Did you know a woman doctor from Galt went on to form Planned Parenthood? Join us to learn more about this trailblazing woman and doctor!
This women’s history in Downtown Cambridge might expand your perspective on this city’s history – which is the point of a good walking tour! You’ll be inspired by the action of these women and the legacy they’ve left behind.
