SUMMARY:History of Feminism in Music Presentation with John Clark
DESCRIPTION:Join John Clark for a 100-year history (1870 to 1970) of the music that played a vital part in American\nwomen’s struggle for equal status and equal rights. It begins in the late 19th century with the anthems of women’s suffrage (Daughters of Freedom\, March of the Women). Next come the early songs of female independence associated with the “flappers” of the Roaring Twenties\, like The Charleston and Last of the Red Hot Mamas. Then music associated with labor strikes\, specifically Bread and Roses and Which Side Are You On? And there’s lots more! From World War II’s Rosie the Riveter to These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ and modern feminist anthems like I Am Woman. You’ll hear songs by such widely diverse artists as Sophie Tucker\, Joan Baez\, Mimi Farina\, Aretha Franklin\, Peggy Lee\, Lesley Gore\, Nancy Sinatra\, Helen Reddy\, Patsy Cline\, and Loretta Lynn. \nOpen to out-of-towners age 60+ for $5 \n*Friends of the Acton Council on Aging provides financial assistance for this event. \n
