- Description:
- Renowned American folk singer Peggy Seeger presents a one woman show entitled, "A feminist view of women and work in Anglo-American traditional songs" at the Michigan State University Main Library. Seeger discusses the portrayal of women in song from early English and American compositions to songs from the modern era and performs many folk standards to illustrate her points. According to Seeger, the traditional folk song is descriptive rather than change oriented and either serves to reinforce male dominance or illustrates the plight of women in a "man's world". She divides her program into five parts, the "norm at home", the "norm at work", "bucking the norm" and "new songs by women". Seeger is introduced by MSU Professor John Beck of the School of Labor and Industrial Relations. Part of the "Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives" lecture series sponsored by the MSU Museum and the MSU School of Labor and Industrial Relations.
