 Home to many of the political, creative, and intellectual movements in New York’s history, Washington Square with its amazing female population accounts for much of that vitality. Perhaps in no other six blocks in America have so many notable women lived and achieved for the last 150 years.
It has seen an unparalleled variety of women—working class, gentry, radical, literary, academic, theatrical, convict, and immigrant. Eleanor Roosevelt, Edith Wharton, Louisa May Alcott, Emily Roebling, Bella Abzug, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Ida Tarbell, Emily Post, Edna St Vincent Millay (above) all shared this New York neighborhood.
Joyce Gold is a NYC tour guide and author of From Trout Stream to Bohemia: A Walking Guide to Greenwich History.
