This week’s archive edition of Fine Tune first aired on International Women’s Day, 2016, and features a sampling of some songwriter’s views of women – while you may not agree with some of the views expressed therein, there is definitely food for thought!
This year’s IWD theme is #ChooseToChallenge
“A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change.
So let’s all choose to challenge. How will you help forge a gender equal world?
Celebrate women’s achievement. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality.”
