Reading this made me feel quite emotional - yes to all of it. I was just reading a post from an Australian folk singer in her late 70s last night, reflecting on how the first big music festivals in Australia generally only had one or maybe two women on a three day bill - she would always be one of them - I couldn’t help wondering how it felt to grow up a young woman in that era where there were so few women to look up to and lead the way.
