Washington Women

Description

Washington Women is a collection of musical settings of speeches, opinions, and interviews of sixteen remarkable women from all across the political spectrum and throughout U.S. history, from Abigail Adams to Kamala Harris.

Women featured include: Abigail Adams, Madeleine Albright, Barbara Bush, Laura Bush, Shirley Chisholm, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Betty Ford, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Kamala Harris, Elena Kagan, Sandra Day O'Connor, Michelle Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Condoleeza Rice, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Margaret Chase Smith.
