It is said: „cherchez la femme“ (look for the woman), and this walk has found fascinating visionaries of Vilnius, pioneers in their fields, women who lived in the most diverse times – from the 16th to the 20th century. Vilnius women not only loved and adorned themselves but also performed feats, created culture, and shaped history.
