Listen now
Description
As we wrap up our two-part In Memoriam for 2022 by honoring women with famous names and faces, we also pay tribute to those who were less visible yet made significant contributions to TV, movies, news, and science.   This celebration is the perfect time to reflect on the importance of acting as a champion for other women. Their success does not detract from our own—instead, it strengthens us all.   The wonderful women featured in this episode will continue to entertain and teach and inform us for decades thanks to syndication. They are why I podcast.   MENTIONS AND REFERENCES   (We encourage you to visit your local bookseller or library.)   Women Who Reported Watergate (July 2, 2017 podcast) https://advancedtvherstory.libsyn.com/women-who-reported-watergate   Audition: A Memoir by Barbara Walters https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2847470-audition   Kirstie Alley - List of Works https://www.biblio.com/kirstie-alley/author/15520   Nichelle Nichols on Martin Luther King, Jr. https://youtu.be/zrzygziT11I   Beyond Uhura by Nichelle Nichols https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/672094.Beyond_Uhura   Sacheen Littlefeather was a Native American icon.
