Washington DC: Women Rule!

DC was one of the primary battlegrounds for the women’s suffrage movement, and amazing sites and stories abound. In addition, there are countless incredible women – artists, journalists, entrepreneurs, activists and politicians – who have left their mark on the city and county. Join “111 Places in Washington That You Must Not Miss” guidebook author and tour guide Andrea Seiger and Jeff Miller, the DC Cycling Concierge, on an 8-mile ride to check out numerous sites you may not have ever noticed but will now.
