Thanks to this visit, discover or rediscover the city of Strasbourg through the history of Alsatian women!

This tour through the city center will allow you to know extraordinary women such as Adélaide Hautval, deported to Auschwitz and recognized "Just among the nations"; Louise Scheppler, inventor of the kindergarten or Katia Krafft, volcanologist carried by a fiery cloud on the slopes of Mount Unzen in Japan.
Often invisibilized by history and in the public space, let us reveal together on this occasion the legacy left by these women: our matrimoine.
See you Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 and 14:30 in front of the University Library, 6 Place de la République in Strasbourg.
Spot the white flags «Dare Feminism» and follow them for a matrimonal visit!
The visit is free, goodies will be on sale at the end of the visit to support the association.
