ABC News will kick off Women’s History Month with a new podcast In Plain Sight: Lady Bird Johnson. Best Case Studios is co-producing the program hosted by author Julia Sweig.

The series draws from more than 123 hours of the former first lady’s daily audio diaries. Sweig is the author of a new book on Claudia Alta “Lady Bird” Johnson that will be released in March.

The first two episodes drop on March 1.

Molly Rozum, Associate Professor and Ronald R. Nelson Chair of Great Plains and South Dakota History, presents an overview of the women's suffrage movement in South Dakota with focus on the successful 1918 campaign.
