Women100 is a year long series of one minute spots celebrating
a century of progress since women won the right to vote and set the agenda to achieve economic, political and social equality.

Women100, is hosted by WHYY's Marty Moss-Coane. Each weekly one minute spot focuses on the achievement of one woman who changed our world.

After almost a century of protests, the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote, was passed in 1919. It said: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”

WHYY produces the series in collaboration with Drexel University's Institute for Women’s Health and Leadership. The project is focused on the unfinished business of women’s equality, with special emphasis on shared leadership among women and men in business, the arts, science, government and beyond.
