Digital Discussion: Women Influencers
Tuesday, March 1, 2022
7:00 PM
Free Online Program
Help us launch Women’s History Month with a special Digital Discussion about women’s roles in transit over the last century.
Learn about pioneering women in transit who challenged a traditionally male dominated field to thrive as transit workers, transit police officers, and subway operators. Explore the incredible stories of women who fought for equal access, argued for improved subway etiquette and even developed cutting edge technological improvements. We’ll also revisit forgotten histories like the debate over creating gender segregated subway cars.
