Women's History Month
Women’s History Month is an opportunity for Bostonians to engage with stories of women who contribute to public life.
This year, we'll be focusing on the stories of women of different ages, backgrounds, and gender identities. We want to honor their leadership and resilience.

Knox: The E-Cargo Trike

The tricycle was named after Katherine “Kittie” Knox. In the 1880s, the West End resident confronted racial and gender stereotypes in Boston’s bicycling community.
