Professor Freedman's FS101 Soundtrack 

 Sweet Honey in the Rock

Please browse through the music on the tape (on reserve at Green Media Reserve (first floor) or find the music yourself.  Many of these recordings (and much more women's, alternative, and feminist music) can be found in the Ladyslipper catalogue from Durham, NC (800-634- 6044). Songs reflect lecture material on race, work, violence, anti-violence, spirituality, peace, gender roles, reproduction, sexuality, and social change.
