Special July 4th Edition — She the People Walking Tour — Boston

    Improve listing Presented by

“Fast paced and full to bursting with vivid, raucous figures and stories that have been kept out of our history books for too long, Jen Deaderick’s She the People is a remarkable corrective that will broaden readers’ views and deepen their understanding of the history that has brought us to this moment—and will inspire new approaches to moving forward.”


— Rebecca Traister, author of Good and Mad & All the Single Ladies

With stops at places referred to in my book, SHE THE PEOPLE, or related to people I discuss, this walking tour gives a sense of the layers of women’s history in Boston, from before 1776 to now.

This Special 4th of July Edition will begin as my book does, watching the Declaration of Independence read from the balcony of the Old State House — though we won’t tearing down any statues, of course.

Every year, the Captain Commanding of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts reads the Declaration of Independence from the balcony which is then followed by lots of cheering and music and confetti. You can read more about it here:

Traditional Reading of the Declaration of Independence and Parade

We’ll watch all of this fun stuff, and then head out on the tour, which is meant to start there anyway.

Tours will generally happen rain or shine, but in cases of extreme weather, which happens around these parts, I will get in touch with people who have registered.

Because this will be a crowded day all over Boston, particularly at the event, the tour members are limited to 15.
