August 18 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment,
which guaranteed American women the right to vote, although it
would take another 45 years for all women to have full access to
voting through the Voting Rights Act of 1965. “Seneca’s 100 Women
to Hear” will celebrate these critical moments in American history
by focusing on 100 women who have shaped the present and who are
designing our future. The podcast will be co-hosted by a trio of
Seneca Women leaders: Co-Founder Kim Azzarelli; Co-Founder
Ambassador Melanne Verveer, the first U.S. Ambassador for Global
Women’s Issues; and Commissioner Sharon Bowen, the first
African-American to be appointed as Commissioner of the U.S.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
“Women’s voices throughout history have often gone unheard. That
is why we launched the Seneca Women Podcast Network earlier this
year and why we are thrilled today to announce this new
ground-breaking series that will amplify the voices of 100 diverse
women,” said Kim Azzarelli, Co-Founder of Seneca Women. “There has
never been a more important time to hear women’s voices as we face
multiple crises and have the opportunity to design a more inclusive
future.”
Episodes will include conversations, groundbreaking speeches as
well as interviews with historians and experts. For the premiere
podcast, Azzarelli speaks with Dr. Daina Ramey Berry, an
award-winning historian and professor, who shares important
insights about Sojourner Truth. The second episode features a
keynote address by Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, during the Girl
Up 2020 Leadership Summit.
“We’ve been thrilled by our partnership with Seneca Women and
the stories that we are able to tell together,” said Conal Byrne,
President of the iHeartPodcast Network. “The ratification of the
19th Amendment and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were important
moments in our history, and we knew that we had to honor them in a
special way. ‘Seneca’s 100 Women to Hear’ does a fantastic job
sharing the accomplishments of these remarkable women and
amplifying their voices for podcast audiences. Listeners from
across the world will be able to draw from the experiences of these
history makers.”
“Our world is shaped by the voices we listen to, the leaders we
pay attention to and the ideas we choose to embrace,” said Marc
Pritchard, P&G Chief Brand Officer. “We’re proud to support
‘Seneca’s 100 Women to Hear’ series which brings us powerful
insights and inspiration from the diverse life experiences of 100
amazing women. It’s time to listen to more voices, especially the
voices of women, to create a more equal, just and better
world.”
