“At YouTube, we believe that voices matter,” wrote chief marketing officer Danielle Tiedt

in a company blog post. “We’re committed to fostering a community where everyone’s voice can be heard…the more we listen to and share each other’s stories, the more we can help empower women’s voices everywhere.”

In addition to the flagship YouTube site, YouTube Kids is also feteing Women’s History Month. The child-friendly platform tapped former United States Treasurer Rosie Rios to create a playlist honoring notable accomplishments by women in American history.
