Relive the Work of Women who Broke Barriers and Defied Expectations
The Paley Center for Media is proud to celebrate Women’s History Month and International Women's Day with a virtual tribute to those who have created some of the most unforgettable women-led stories in television history. Through the years, the Paley Center has uplifted and preserved the work of the women who broke barriers and defied expectations in their fields: Creators like Ava DuVernay (Queen Sugar), Misha Green (Lovecraft Country), Amy Sherman-Palladino (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), and Gloria Calderon Kellett (One Day at a Time), stars like Jean Smart (Hacks), Cynthia Erivo (Harriet), Cate Blanchett (Mrs. America), and Anya Taylor Joy (The Queen’s Gambit), newsmakers like Hoda Kotb and Maria Hinojosa, and trailblazers like Misty Copeland and Rita Moreno. They are just a few of the many women who have challenged social norms, told memorable stories, and moved audiences.
Listen to these on-set experiences and shared wisdom from a selection of previous Paley events below.
