The reason I shared the blog post (written by Meghan Murphy) about feminism/Joni is that I found some of the points it raised, particularly about double standards in the music industry relating to Bob Dylan, really fascinating. Given everything Joni has had to fight for in the music business, and given her public comments about her struggle, I think it's fair to say she is a feminist who just refuses to be called a feminist :) Sending you sunshine from Oz Ange P.S.
