In honor of Women’s History Month, Penn’s Village is organizing a special guided Women’s History Tour at The Weitzman Museum.
This tour highlights the vital roles Jewish women have played in shaping American life from the colonial period to today. Through stories of women as mothers, educators, pioneers, workers, activists, artists, and leaders, the tour explores themes of family, identity, immigration, labor, philanthropy, feminism, and cultural expression.
Visitors will encounter figures from Rebecca Gratz to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, alongside everyday women whose experiences illuminate resilience, innovation, and advocacy across generations. The tour invites reflection on how Jewish women have both sustained tradition and propelled change—balancing family and faith while leading movements for justice, equality, and creativity.
Optional Lunch to Follow
After the tour, we will gather for an optional group lunch (private pay) at Red Owl Tavern (5th and Chestnut Streets).
If you plan to attend the lunch, please email communications@pennsvillage.org so we can include you in the reservation.
We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful Women’s History Month program — and stay to connect over lunch!
