March is Women’s History Month. Ladies’ voices have always been, and always will be, an important part of rock history. To mark the occasion, we have a special message from just a few of the many incredible ladies who rock our world. Watch below or on Instagram.

Every day, you hear the voices of these and many other women musicians in the songs that we play on WMMR. Every week, you can also hear the stories of exception women on Her Story, a series hosted by Kathy Romano of the Preston and Steve Show. Since 2017 Kathy has been speaking with women from Philadelphia and beyond, and sharing their stories of inspiration and empowerment. Now, Her Story has a permanent home on WMMR. The show airs every Sunday morning at 7am.

Meanwhile, in the nighttime, Jacky Bam Bam spotlights the women of rock all throughout March with his 8pm block Women's History Month. Each weeknight he honors the ladies of rock n' roll, past and present. See who he featured in the first week of the month here.

WMMR has been part of Philadelphia since 1968, and we've had some amazing women on air and behind-the-scenes over the years. Here's just a few of them. Happy International Women's Day!

More from the Pierre Robert Show

From roughly 10:30am to somewhere around 3 (we call it Pierre Standard Time) weekdays Philadelphia rocks with (and loves) Pierre Robert on WMMR. Pierre Robert began his illustrious career at the pioneering progressive rock station KSAN, in his hometown San Francisco, but it’s through his uninterrupted 42-year tenure at Philadelphia‘s legendary WMMR that he’s made his mark. One of the city’s most recognizable celebrities will write about being at the center of its live music scene and greeting his legions of fans as if personal friends in the smallest clubs and largest stadiums.
