The Ovarian Sisters

The Ovarian Sisters were an Australian feminist folk band from Tasmania who were active in the 1970s and 1980s.

The music they first made used British and American songs by artists such as Malvina Reynolds and Pete Seeger and they re-wrote lyrics to based on the messages they wanted to convey.

Some lyrics were serious and about subjects like women's refuges, abortion and the Miss Tasmania Quest, some were more celebratory like the song Beat Your Breasts.

There were very few recording of feminist or political music at the time and this album was welcomed for this reason.
