Included on the tour will be several women who played important roles in the development of Houston and Texas: Charlotte Allen, wife of Houston co-founder Augustus Allen; suffragists Annette Finnigan and Florence Sterling; and Alice Graham Baker, a leader in the local settlement house movement.
Nationally prominent Glenwood women include newspaper publisher and stateswoman Oveta Culp Hobby, who led the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps during World War II, and movie star Gene Tierney.
