Music
Before Ellen, the Butchies, GrrrlPower, Melissa, and Lea DeLaria, there was women’s music. Some of us discovered it at muddy, sexy women’s music festivals. But Ladyslipper of Durham introduced women’s music to most of us.
Ladyslipper is a non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to heighten public awareness of the achievements of women artists and musicians and to expand the scope and availability of recordings by women. Visit the world’s most comprehensive catalog and resource guide of music by and for women and learn why Ladyslipper continues to distribute Second-Wave feminist music that challenges the entrenched sexism of popular culture, MTV, and the popular music scene.
