Chicago and New Haven Women's Liberation Rock Bands facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Chicago Women's Liberation Rock Band and the New Haven Women's Liberation Rock Band (1969–1973) sought to challenge the genre of rock music by installing women's voices and feminist-type lyrics into the musical canon. The Chicago chapter of the band's lineup included: Susan Abod (bass, vocals), Sherry Jenkins (guitar, vocals), Patricia Miller (guitar, vocals), Linda Mitchell (manager), Fania Mantalvo (drums), Suzanne Prescott (drums), and Naomi Weisstein (keyboards).

The New Haven chapter of the band included Florika Remetier (bass), Pat Ouellette (bass), Harriet Cohen (guitar) and Judy Miller (drums). As the most experienced musician, Florika acted as tutor to the other members.

In 1972, the Chicago group, along with its New Haven counterpart, recorded their first LP called Mountain Moving Day.

The band broke up in mid-1973 after Weisstein moved to the East Coast.
