The theme in and of itself names an intense reality: male violence. The language/truth telling is brutal because it reflects the true brutality of male violence against women. Each of these female musicians bravely names the male agent of this violence and many of them describe it thru the telling of their stories via lyrics and sound. These stories stretch across the genres: acoustic, rap, punk, heavy metal, reggae, country, shamanic. Take care of yourselves, sisters. And, I hope you can find a way to listen, take the journey these women take us on. The words of Andrea Dworkin will accompany us too thru the rough rapids."
