FEMINISM IN MUSIC: CREATING THE ULTIMATE FEMINIST PLAYLIST
Entrance fee: €2  Location: Atria, Vijzelstraat 20, Amsterdam Time: 19.30 - 22.00
 Hello!
After our summer hiatus, the Feminist Club Amsterdam has decided to kick off the Discussion Nights on a lighter, but nonetheless, important note: Feminism In Music.
The music industry is infamous for its abysmal treatment of women: disenfranchisement, sexual harassment, sexual assault, fat shaming… the list is long.
We believe that one of the best ways we can contribute to combatting misogyny and sexism in lyrics, music videos and the music industry in general is simply by making sure there are more female and feminist voices out there.
So, on Tuesday the 5th of September, let’s get together and create the ultimate feminist playlist!
From the riot grrrl anthems of Bikini Kill or Peaches' raunchy rock, to the sugary tunes of the Spice Girls’ girl power or Ani DiFranco’s iconic folk, nothing is off limits.
 We’d suggest that you please add on to a shared Google Doc (i) the link to a (maximum of two) song(s); followed by (ii) the key lyrics/reason that made you pick this song in particular.
Here's the link to the document: <A HREF="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17W81DfonecDi6cwxQ--RbQt_HaYR72Ac6LgY-9-gvVQ/edit?usp=sharing" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17W81DfonecDi6cwxQ--RbQt_HaYR72Ac6LgY-9-gvVQ/edit?usp=sharing</A>
  
We’ll select as many as possible, listen and discuss each song that’s played… and rock out!
 
We’ve also complied a few articles listed below, which highlight the issues at stake. We’d invite you to read them before the workshop.
