A Musical Romp Through Women's History
http://www.dct.com/~gribi/
Gerri Gribi believes that many folksongs about women portray them as helpless victims at best, and as co-conspirators in their misery at worst, and that while these songs are a valid part of the tradition, they need to be balanced with other images in order to truly understand woman's role in American history. Being an historian, Gribi set out to find songs that showed women in a more realistic light. This site contains a women's folk music and history resources page, which is divided up into printed resources, Internet resources, women's songbooks, and bibliography/discography. (SOSIG)
