Dive into the powerful history of the women's music movement—a radical and creative force that reshaped music, culture, and activism. From feminist folk to lesbian rock, this workshop explores how women and queer artists used music to build community, challenge oppression, and amplify voices too often left out of the mainstream. We’ll listen, reflect, and uncover the legacy of artists, producers, and organizers who changed the sound—and meaning—of music history. Perfect for music lovers, history buffs, and anyone curious about the intersection of art and social change.
