Day Twenty-eight: Women Speaking Up
Day Twenty-eight: Women Speaking Up
“I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell, and I don’t have time
To go ‘round and ‘round and ‘round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
’Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is You think I should”
~Songwriters: Martha Maguire / Natalie Maines / Emily Robison / Dan Wilson
~Recorded by The Dixie Chicks

The post today is my attempt at unpacking a systematic way that the feminine energy, aka women, have been devalued and ‘put in their place,’ for speaking up and challenging the system. This is a three-part story about The Chicks. One of the biggest female music bands of all time. They have won thirteen Grammy’s. (formerly known as The Dixie Chicks)
