KUMD kicks off the Women’s History Month celebration Monday, March 3 at 7 pm with a two-hour NPR special "The Hidden World of Girls," featuring actress Tina Fey as the host. Fey takes listeners around the world into the secret life of girls with stories of women who crossed a line, broke a trail, and changed the tide -- from the dunes of the Sahara to a slumber party in Manhattan, from the dancehalls of Jamaica to a racetrack in Ramallah.
Listen to KUMD live at 103.3FM and online at www.kumd.org.
