Lifetime will cap off Women’s History Month with a one-hour special paying tribute to women making strides in politics, activism, medicine, and more. A press release has announced that “Women Making History” will premiere Tuesday, March 30, at 8 p.m. EST. Dawn Porter (“Trapped”) directed.
The special will focus on Vice President Kamala Harris — the first woman and first woman of color to hold that position — and “some of the women who helped shape her life.” The source details, “With over 2 million women leaving the workforce during the pandemic, and bearing unequal burdens exacerbated by the pandemic, the special will also highlight the Vice President’s tireless work alongside President Biden to pass the American Rescue Plan, and why it’s an important mission of hers to get women back to work.”
Also among “Women Making History’s” subjects are Oscar-nominated “United States vs. Billie Holiday” actress Andra Day; Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, an immunologist who helped develop a COVID vaccine; Indigenous rights activist Crystal Echo Hawk; Amanda Nguyen, a leader in the fight against Asian American hate; and nurses and frontline heroes Carla Brown and Kelly O’Neill.
“For over 35 years, we’ve known the power of women at Lifetime, and have championed their stories and their triumphs,” said Paul Buccieri, President and Chairman A+E Networks Group. “’Women Making History’ is a testament to the incredible strength and resiliency of women, who continue to hold up half the sky, and will continue to inspire change for our future.”
An encore of “Women Making History” will air on LMN Wednesday, March 31, at 8 p.m. EST. Check out a promo below.
