About Brave Women FLX
History tells us that it takes a brave woman to thrive in a Finger Lakes winter. Trailblazers like Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and the Iroquois matriarchs carved out a new future for all of us in this fiercely beautiful region. As the epicenter of the women’s rights movement, the Finger Lakes region applauds women both past and present. What began in 2020, the monumental year that marked the centennial of the 19th amendment, granting women the right to vote, continues as an annual celebration. Come honor their bravery and experience their stories on a visit to the Finger Lakes region. While you’re here, you can also support the innovative and creative women who are blazing their own trails in business.
