NWHM Presents! Department Stores: A Feminine Oasis

“All women love shopping,” a cliché if there ever was one, haunts half the population to this day. Join the National Women’s History Museum for a virtual tour of department stores and their historical significance. This guided experience, led by NWHM National Coalition Partner A Tour of Her Own, virtually explores DC streets strewn with the ghosts and skeletons of iconic buildings and discusses the way a simple trip to the store was in fact so much more. Shopping was a place for women to find a modicum of freedom from the male dominated world. This nexus of classes and commerce allowed for women to casually socialize in chance meetings and exercise the power of economics often unavailable to them in regimented day to day lives. In Washington, DC, many of the largest department stores were situated between the White House and the U.S. Capitol Building. A Tour Of Her Own (TOHO) is the first tourism company in Washington, D.C. to focus exclusively on women’s history. TOHO specializes in historical tours, special events, consulting and virtual experiences.
