Cris Williamson: Pioneer in Women's Music

Cris Williamson

The singer/songwriter and founder of Olivia Records, the first record label dedicated to releasing female artists, held a private performance for students at Cafe 939; visited classrooms; and took part in a Women in Music panel. Meg Todd, a CWP major in attendance, said, "I think it is really motivating to . . . respect, as female musicians, that our place here was so carved out."
