“Murals”, currently the world's largest open-air gallery – you'll automatically encounter them on a sightseeing tour through Philly.

In this case: “Women in Progress,” artwork by Cesar Viveros and Larissa Preston.

Done on September 14, 2001 - this mural was created to show the social, industrial, and educational improvement for working woman by the New Century Guild. At the top is a depiction is Philadelphian - Eliza Turner. She was the founder of the group in 1882, who pioneered woman in the workforce efforts. She's wearing a mask due to the social pressures and dilemmas woman had faced in their progress. Very lightly, the mural has the words "Equal jobs and Education opportunities".
