Hidden Stories of the Women Who Shaped Train Travel
We celebrated Women’s History Month by learning about the stories of the women who shaped train travel. From transportation to communications and hospitality to innovation, this talk provided insight into how women have not received the attention and credit they deserve in the history of the American railroad.
In uniforms or overalls or working in isolated train depots or attaining patents for safer trains, all were gutsy gals who made a difference.
Watch a recording of this talk and hear about some of these determined, hard-working women.
