A Year of Women has been made possible by a grant received from the National Center for Outreach (NCO). This grant allowed WPBS-TV to complete an entire year of programs and services under the title "A Year of Women."

WPBS-TV has aired programs that pertain to famous women in our history and each was based upon a theme such as Women in War, Women in Science, Women in Business and Women in Arts & Entertainment. Along with several broadcasts, we also produced numerous ‘Did you know?’ spots on-air about women in our local and New York State history that accompanies each theme. With each trivia fact we have also provided a Learning Extension page that can be used in the classroom or library setting.
 

Our figurehead for the project was Marietta Holley, a 19th century author from Jefferson County, New York. WPBS-TV produced a 60-minute documentary about Ms. Holley, which has been be distributed to local schools in Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties in New York. The DVD also has an accompanying Teacher Guide.
