March Sunday, March 7, 2pm Join Linda for this special zoom presentation Remember the Ladies: A History of American Women in Song The role of women’s lives in society from the 18th century to the 19th amendment is highlighted in popular song. Playing mountain and hammered dulcimers and guitar, Linda Russell sings broadsides, laments, murder ballads, love songs, parlor melodies and suffrage anthems. The songs reflect the changing status of women in society. Interspersed with the music are excerpts from women’s diaries and letters. Included will be stories of Deborah Samson, who fought as a soldier in Washington’s army, and New Jersey women who led the fight for Women’s Suffrage. You will receive a link after you've reserved your spot for this special zoom lecture/concert.
