Taking a Leading Role: Women in Broadcasting History
The Library of American Broadcasting at the University of Maryland holds an assortment of archival collections pertaining to women's contributions to American radio and television. This exhibit offers a sampling of items drawn from those collections. The exhibit provides a glimpse into the lives and careers of 16 American women who worked in broadcasting during its most crucial years of development and expansion, in the mid-20th century. The diversity of their collections illuminates the myriad ways that women shaped the course of broadcasting history. |
| In 2003, a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities allowed the Library of American Broadcasting to preserve, organize, and make accessible to researchers a group of archival collections pertaining to women in broadcasting. |
