Our charge is to make what we know accessible to a new generation of independent women artists and producers. There are now too many female recording engineers to count. Women's Music is more diverse in terms of musical styles, and disenfranchised communities of women than ever, just check out the line-ups at National or Michigan festivals. Lesbians continue to be the major contributors and supporters of the women's music network and movement. We can be proud of our history of accomplishment and our endurance.
Reviews are the lifeline of most musicians.
There are far fewer women's newspapers today so there is almost no coverage of our concerts. Mainstream and even so-called alternative presses never consistently reviewed our events and even today almost always ignore our performances unless the music is attached to a political event deemed to be significant. And then, the music and performance are seldom reviewed. Visionaries in Women's Music can take credit for introducing the issue of accessibility to all of America. being a training ground and mentoring system for women technicians, performers, producers, and distributors building alternative distribution and production networks creating, performing,producing, recording and distributing a huge body of music which empowers and honors women. Whenever and wherever this music is played, it continues to stand as a direct challenge to woman-hating culture.
