Advanced TV Herstory host Cynthia Bemis Abrams explores the feminist legacy of Dinah Shore, 20th century singer, TV icon, and unlikely trailblazer for women's rights. Discover how Dinah used her power and platform in 1950s and '60s television to elevate Black artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole. Dinah Shore is credited for transforming women's golf by creating opportunities and boosting prize money through televised tournaments. Plus, hear a reflection on Shore's impact through a modern lens, including a look at The Dinah, now the world's largest queer and lesbian music festival.
