Throughout the month of March, iHeartMedia Chicago and YWCA Metropolitan Chicago will pay tribute to 14 incredible women leaders who have shaped Chicago's history through dedication and perseverance.

The tributes will include a series of on-air and digital vignettes on iHeartMedia Chicago's six radio stations, websites and social media.
