A Women’s Music Fest Looking For An Audience

Cal State University at Fullerton throws a women’s music festival and few people show up. “Is it the women themselves who are scary? Their music? Ironically, this annual festival, created five years ago by Pamela Madsen, a composer on Fullerton’s faculty, strives for inclusion. The attitude, and one rehashed in the panel, is that no one can really say what women’s music is. Some women address gender issues, some don’t.”
