A Philly history podcast. Philadelphia is a treasure trove of stories. Many of these stories are hidden in plain sight. We walk by them everyday and don’t see them. Other stories we think we know, but we don’t look close enough to see the details. The Found in Philadelphia podcast aims to bring these stories into focus, to introduce you to the places and people of Philly, and to help you see the city with new eyes. Each story will highlight a moment in Philly’s past that still impacts us today. Every episode will take you on a field trip in the city that you can experience for yourself.

Episode No. 20: These are the People in the Gilded Age, Part 2 – Women and Reform

These are the women’s movement histories that you haven’t heard.

After the Civil War, women from all walks of life worked to make Philadelphia a better place. Some tried to clean up the streets. Some walked the streets in protest. And some continued, quietly, to improve their everyday lives through community and collective action.
