On Wed., March 30 at 1pm in the COA, explore 100 years of feminism in music with John Clark and his Great American Music Experience
Music has played a vital part in American women’s struggles for equal status and equal rights. It begins in the 19th and early 20th centuries with the music of women’s suffrage and labor strikes. Next came the early songs of female independence associated with the “flappers” and the brash and bold blues singers of the Roaring Twenties. And there’s plenty more women’s history in song from World War II’s Rosie the Riveter to feminist anthems like I’m a Woman and I Am Woman. Registration is required.
