Discover the remarkable stories of some of the most rebellious women in Boston's history. An audacious and determined procession of reformers, socialites, criminals and madams made the city what it is today. One hundred years before Rosa Parks, African American abolitionist Sarah Parker Remond refused to give up her seat while attending a play in Boston. Fiery activists Harriet Hemenway and Minna Hall led a boycott that brought the fashion industry to its knees. Rachel Wall was the last woman to be hanged in Massachusetts after leading a daring life as a robber and pirate. Learn about these historic women -- and many more -- with Dina Vargo, author of "Wild Women of Boston: Mettle and Moxie in the Hub."
