Meg Christian

Meg Christian (born 1946 in Lynchburg, Virginia)[1] is an American folk singer associated with the women's music movement.

She has spoken about being an only child, learning stringed instruments while spending a lot of time alone and later being influenced by Joan Baez, The Kingston Trio and Harry Belafonte to organize folk groups in the '60s.

[1] She moved to Washington, D.C. in 1969, where she performed in bars covering easy listening material by artists such as Joni Mitchell and Burt Bacharach.

Christian has said that her "entrance to sexual politics" began after witnessing the way David Frost showed little respect for two women authors Ti-Grace Atkinson and Robin Morgan,[4], during an interview.

She noted that writing songs as a "woman-identified-woman" was not only consistent with her concept of feminism, but had also developed an awareness of how music enabled emotional changes to be made without compromising her art.
