An informal presentation of folk songs that tell of women's roles in history and modern society, her show will begin at 7 p.m. in The Cabin, Davies Center. Ky. Well aware that conventional history is largely the story of the wealthy and educated, Gribi looks for songs that preserve the history of other people, especially women. Songs have much to tell us not only about history, but about people's attitudes and opinions. Her research took her to the Library of Congress, where she listened to one traditional song after another as she searched for the image of women presented in the music. After more than a decade of research, Gribi found enough women-positive folk songs to fill two albums.
Admission is free.
Donations of cash or household items are requested for the Bolton Refuge House for battered women. The show is sponsored by the University Activities Commission of the UW-Eau Claire Student Senate.
