It argues that such songs, because of their strong storytelling component, put into popular circulation narratives of sexual freedom that engaged with emerging social practices and thereby helped to legitimize the new choices available to young women. http://jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=2277 ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2010 #315 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
