Helen's Women's Music Show September 3, 2009

The history of Sophie's Parlor is inextricably entwined with the history of women's music. The genre of women's music began in the early 1970's and was launched by many of the women who started the radio show, Sophie's Parlor, at Georgetown University's WGTB. After four years on the air at the University, Sophie's Parlor moved to WPFW where it has persisted as the longest-running radio show devoted to music by women, about women, for everybody!

My playlist follows, not necessarily in the order I will play the songs on air. I hope you enjoy it!
