Detroit may have been founded in 1701, by the French explorer and adventurer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe sieur de Cadillac, but it was his wife Marie who decided much of the town's original layout. From the very beginning, Detroit has been a dame's town. Home to broads, women, cats, ladies, and Rosies, the Motor City's story is interlaced with the triumphs, adventures, dalliances and deeds of its female inhabitants. Join Bailey Moore of Detroit History Tours to hear about some of their stories. From Madam Cadillac to Motown greats, prostitutes to murderers, cults to saints and so much more. We'll talk civil war spies and prohibition smuggling. You'll learn the verdict of the first all-female jury in Michigan and the story of a woman known as "Rocking Chair."
