What To Expect

Laurel Grove North Cemetery

Before feminism was even a concept, Savannah women were leading fascinating, daring lives of creativity and innovation that influenced and sometimes shook the world! Yet like so many accomplishments of women in The South, they either made the history pages or went lost to them. Its uncanny that so many of these fabulous women ended up in one Savannah cemetery! Juliette Gordon-Low, Founder of The Girl Scouts of The USA Florence Martus, aka, "The Waving Girl" Nina Pape, Educator & Founder of The Pape School Eugenia Phillips, Banished Civil War Spy Mary Marshall, Philanthropist & Builder Phoebe Pember, Famed Civil War Nurse Mary Haskell, Benefactress Muse to Poet-Painter Kahlil Gibran Tour discussions will also include the many roles of women in Victorian Society, the very particular traditions around funerals, along with social organizations like The Order of The Eastern Star, The Daughters of Rebekkah and other women's movements.
