Jana Mader, WALK HER WAY, NYC: A Walking Guide to Women’s History

Walk Her Way New York City is a collection of 10 curated walking tours through New York neighborhoods, each celebrating the city's history and the women that have made their mark here.

Authors Jana Mader and Kaitlyn Allen have meticulously researched and traced the city blocks, uncovering important landmarks, events and women's stories, both well-known and forgotten, to create a series of fun and eye-opening walks that connect you to the city that surrounds you. Featuring beautiful illustrated maps and portraits by Aja O'Han, each walk covers a different neighborhood, including Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo, Central Park, Chelsea, Chinatown, East Side, Greenwich Village, Harlem, Midtown, Roosevelt Island, and SoHo.

Jana Mader is the Director of Academic Programs at the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College. She received her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of Munich and has taught at the University of North Carolina at Asheville and The Juilliard School. Her research focuses on 19th-century literature and art, women writers of the 19th century, and environmental humanities. Her first novel was published in Germany in 2018.
