impacted our culture and community.
Wild Women of Detroit - Part II | March 7, 2023 | 12 - 1 p.m.
Detroit may have been founded in 1701, by the French explorer and adventurer Antoine
de la Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac, but it was his wife Marie who set us on a path to
success. From the very beginning, Detroit has been a dames town. Home to broads, women,
cats, ladies, and Rosies, the Motor City’s story is interlaced with the triumphs,
adventures, dalliances and deeds of its female inhabitants. Join Detroit History Tours’
Bailey Sisoy-Moore for a virtual presentation in honor of “the wild women of Detroit”.
We hope you’ll join us on Zoom for an afternoon of fun and learning for Women's History
Month. This event is sponsored by PNC Bank.
