We celebrate Women’s History Month on Teenage Kicks with an event that happened this week in 1982, as the Go-Go's achieved something never done before when their debut album Beauty and the Beat became the first album written, sung, and played entirely by women to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — and it would hold that No. 1 through the spring of '82, breaking down barriers and paving the way for artists to follow.

We also hear some songs from the 1980s Cold War era that have regained chilling relevance today.
