    | In 1973, with Kay Gardner and Marilyn Ries, 
                        I produced Lavender Jane Loves Women, the very first album by, for and about Lesbians in the 
                        history of the world. From then until now, I have focused on the lives, concerns and perspectives 
                        of women who love women. |  Gene Knapp

                        | Most commonly defined as "music by, for, & about women," the category of Women's Music has been entertaining and enlightening a vast network of Lesbians, our friends and supporters at concerts, festivals, conferences, gatherings and parties, on vinyl, tape, disc, and songbook since the early 1970s. |
