(Photo: Mike Morgan/courtesy of the artist) Since March is Women’s History Month and mixed in the month was also International Women’s Day, I’ve decided to interview some amazing female musicians who also happen to be dedicated to battling issues of social injustice through their music and through their actions. My mini-series is called “Activism in Music.” If you look back through my numerous playlists over the years, you’ll see that I’ve done many shows dedicated to female musicians, so I don’t want you to think that I’m jumping on some monthly bandwagon just to highlight some incredible musicians. It’s something that should be done on a regular basis.
