Women’s History Month has been celebrated in March in North America, the U.K., and Australia since 1978, created to highlight the accomplishments and contributions of women both in history and the present day. Women have come a long way since then, but it’s clear there’s still a long way to go towards gender equality, pay parity, and “breaking the bias.”
Chances are you might have a few educational and historical documentaries on your radar to watch this month as a reminder of how much women have done, and continue to do, for society. But there are also some wonderful shows that celebrate strong females of all kinds. Some are inspiring, others terrifying, some all-too-real, and others uplifting. We have rounded up some great TV shows worth watching this month, with options ranging from single-season miniseries to multi-season dramas, comedies, and more.

Inspired by the Lynn Povich book of the same name and based on events from real life, Good Girls Revolt is set in 1969 when several young women are working at News of the Week magazine. While many of these women are better educated and more talented than the male reporters, they remain stuck in low-level, lower-paying jobs. What’s more, they end up writing much of the content the men use in their authored stories yet don’t get any credit. Often compared to Mad Men but told from a female perspective, the series brings attention to the still-relevant issues of equal pay and recognition in the workplace.[/dt_media]The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970)
