This blog represents the work of Bridgewater State University students. This course is focused not only on women in the music industry, but women who use/used their voices to comment on social and political issues. We are focused on how women have used/use their voices in order to express their power as women. We will analyze their work mainly through an intersectional feminist lens. This blog will contain the students' responses to weekly readings and classroom discussions.

As I've been sick fighting off the Flu, I realize I've missed a pretty awesome class. As I read about how many of you enjoyed opening up about our favorite female musician I thought I'd share mine.
Miranda Lambert is my favorite female country artist. Like many artist her music has had an influence on my life. Her music has a way to relate to the listener as if the song was written about them. One of her songs I relate to is “The House That Built Me”. She sings about all the memories that were made in her house. Many people can relate to this song because many of us grow up in a home, which built us. How a house isn’t just a house; it’s a piece of you. It’s a memory. My house is the same way.
Also, In 2009 her family founded, MuttNation Foundation.She puts so much work into finding homes for the pets she rescues and ending animal cruelty. She’s involved with making a difference in the world by giving animals a second chance at love.She’s a woman I hope I can resemble in her abilities to help change the world and help people/animals in the process.

ReplyDeleteIt was good to be able to hear about your who your favorite female artist was and the story behind why you chose her even though you were not able to make it to class Wednesday. I also enjoyed the song by Maranda Lambert that you can relate to, I also agree many people can relate to this song it.
ReplyDeleteAmber, I really liked your article! Hopefully you're feeling better! I really liked the ending how you included the foundation founded by her family, I never knew that about them.
