Women's History Month Give-Away

Each week, I'll pose three (3) questions about women's history.

Be listening on Saturday, March 31st. That's when I'll pose the last set of questions. During the 7am hour,  you'll have the opportunity to call-in and provide correct answers for any combination of 3 of the questions. Your answer must contain the first and last name of the women.

Three callers with the correct answers will have their choice of items from our prize locker. There are water bottles, key chains, and of course, music.

If you missed the questions for this week, here they are. I'll recap these questions during next week's broadcast.

This week's questions are:
  1. In 1872, this woman became the first woman to be admitted to the District of Columbia bar and was the first black woman lawyer in the United States. Who is she? 
  2. This woman was the first black prima donna soprano at the Metropolitan Opera, starring from 1961 to 2007. She was the first black singer to earn the top fee of $2750 for each performance (second only to Birgit Nilsson who got $3000). She has also won 19 Grammy awards. Who is she? 
  3. In 1933, this woman's "Symphony in E Minor" was performed by the Chicago Symphony making her the first black woman symphonic composer to have a symphony performed by a major orchestra. Who is she?
