What We Do
Our goal is to introduce you to women who have made groundbreaking discoveries, paved the way for women to conquer fields traditionally dominated by men, or fought for women to acquire fundamental rights. Here are some of the women whose stories we discussed on the show recently.
BELVA LOCKWOOD
Belva Lockwood was an American attorney and politician, who rose to prominence as the first female lawyer to argue in front of the Supreme Court and to run a full presidential campaign.
"I have not raised the dead, but I have awakened the living. The general effect of attempting things beyond us, even though we fail, is to enlarge and liberalize the mind."
VIRGINIA HALL
Virginia Hall was an American spy and intelligence industry innovator. She used makeup and savvy subterfuge to escape capture by the Gestapo and helped the allies win World War II.
SHIRLEY CHISHOLM
In 1968, Chisholm was the first Black woman to win a seat in Congress. Four years later, she ran for the Democratic presidential nomination, pushing a platform focused on racial and gender equity.
"The Black man must step forward, but that doesn't mean the Black woman must step back."
MARY KENNER
Mary Kenner invented the patented belt for sanitary napkins, long before the advent of disposable pads.
"Every person is born with a creative mind."
MISTY COPELAND
In 2015, Misty Copeland became the first African American woman ballet dancer to be promoted to principal dancer for the American Ballet Theatre in its 75-year history.
"Belonging shouldn't mean you are like everyone else. You can set your own path."
