City of Women!  While the names of accomplished men abound in New York City – Astor Place, Bleecker Street, Lincoln Center, Rockefeller Center, Washington Park, and Madison Avenue, to name a few – names of women of merit are not often used to identify public works and infrastructure. But on September 19th, an updated City of Women map will be unveiled at the NY Transit Museum! Joshua Jelly-Schapiro, co-editor of Nonstop Metropolis and co-creator of the City of Women map, will join journalist Julie Scelfo for a conversation on the significance of mapping the unsung heroines of New York City’s cultural history. With over 80 new names added to represent each of the subway’s 424 stations, City of Women 2.0 will further celebrate and memorialize women who have shaped New York City from the very beginning.
