PREMIERING TUESDAY MARCH 11 AT 7:00 PM

American women were the secret weapon that won World War II, and in the process, changed the world. In this new documentary, hear directly from the women who built the planes and flew them, fought on the warfront and the home front, cracked codes and broke barriers. WOMEN OF WORLD WAR II: THE UNTOLD STORIES is part of special programming premiering on Tuesday, March 11 at 7:00 PM. 

WOMEN OF WORLD WAR II features never-before-seen interviews with the women who made history and moving tributes from descendants they empowered and inspired. Their legacies live on in stories and commentary from Gail Buckley, respected historian and daughter of Lena Horne; Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, a comedian who keeps the memory of her trailblazing Tía Mary alive in her act — and in her life; and Raya Kenney, whose tireless efforts have culminated in a memorial that will honor “Rosie-the-Riveters” on the National Mall. Culled from more than 40 interviews and illustrated with rarely seen archival footage, these are stories that demand to be seen.
