Before feminism was even a concept, Savannah women were leading fascinating, daring lives of creativity and innovation that influenced and sometimes shook the world! Yet like so many accomplishments of women in The South, they either made the history pages or went lost to them. Its uncanny that so many of these fabulous women ended up in one Savannah cemetery!

Florence Martus, aka, "The Waving Girl"
Nina Pape, Educator & Founder of The Pape School
Eugenia Phillips, Banished Civil War Spy
