WLRN Presents: Authentic XX Voices – guest music hour with Polythene Pam

This show celebrates the authentic creative expression and powerful voices of womyn, undiluted by male interference. We hear about solidarity between womyn, mental illness and healing, the pure joy of female love and friendship, the pain of isolation that many lesbians experience, black butch life in 1920s America, the charisma of womyn who stand in their power, two luminous songs from womyn who are/were probably autistic, and a plea and a prayer from a working class womon that we can all wake up to our own power and empathy.
