Women's history is world history — and while March puts an annual spotlight on that salient fact (you can find out more about Women's History Month here), we celebrate female and female-identifying artists every single day in the FUV music mix.
However, we do want to speak louder about women we love over the next 31 days — so we've planned a closer look at established and emerging artists both on-air and online.
Women ruled on International Women's Day on Wednesday, March 8, with FUV DJs Janet Bardini, Alisa Ali, Delphine Blue, and Kara Manning hosting that day (You can find the playlist here).
Online, we'll have some cool "Five Essential Albums" in store with musicians on the rise, including Debby Friday, Ezra Furman, Aoife O'Donovan, Yazmin Lacey, Tommy Lefroy, Indigo De Souza, Emily King, Amy Irving, and mui zyu.
