On this episode of The Public Radio Hour, we celebrate Women's History Month with interviews from the WLRH Community Newsroom. We'll hear from one of NASA's first female engineers, Dr. Joyce Neighbors, who helped launch Explorer One and America into space. We'll also talk with Dr. Colleen Wilson-Hodge, who leads NASA's Gammy-Ray Burst Monitor team, which recently won the prestigious Rossi Prize for making a ground-breaking discovery that helped prove Albert Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. Huntsville 'womanpreneurs' Joy Ragland and Loreal Jones also pay us a visit to talk about how they are trying to inspire young women, and anyone else, in future business careers. You'll also meet two incredible people through our 'Unfamous Women of History' project.
