The Wonder Women of Gotham
To Be Honored for
Women’s History Month + International Women’s Day
29 NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE FIVE BOROUGHS
BAND TOGETHER TO SALUTE
WOMEN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESSES
Nearly 30
business improvement districts (BIDs), neighborhood associations and
merchants’ groups from New York City’s five boroughs are coming together
in March to honor Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day.
Their focus is women-owned small businesses in the city, which have been
particularly hard hit during the pandemic.
New Yorkers
can participate in the campaign (#smallbusinesswonderwomen) by taking a
photo of a woman small business owner in front of her store and posing
the question: What makes you a small business wonder woman? Then post
the photo and caption on social media/blog using the hashtag
#smallbusinesswonderwomen.
The cross-borough
collaboration came together when a group of Brooklyn BIDs met last
month to plan local Women’s Day programming that would work throughout
the city. The group decided to honor Small Business Wonder Women as
their communities’ heroes. “United by their ability to survive and
thrive, these women deserve special recognition during Women’s History
Month,” says Joanna Tallantire of the Park Slope 5th
Avenue BID. "On #theother5th, we see the creative ways women-owned
businesses work together during difficult times, everything from
providing a women-owned marketplace during Open Streets Restaurant
Saturdays to working with women-owned restaurants on mutual aid projects
and buying from women-owned businesses".

May 4,
1912, as shadows fell across Washington Square Park, 16-year-old Mabel
Ping-Hua Lee rode her white horse to the front of the honor guard
leading 10,000 marchers in the suffrage parade up New York City’s Fifth
Avenue. Lee, like many of her fellow suffragists, donned “a tri-cornered
black hat, with the green, purple, and white cockade of the Woman’s
Political Union,” reported the New-York Tribune. Read More
