"Little Boxes" is a song written and composed by #MalvinaReynolds in 1962. The song was first released by her friend, #PeteSeeger, in 1963, and became his only charting single in January 1964. The song is a #socialSatire about the development of #suburbia and associated #conformist #middleclass attitudes. It mocks suburban #tractHousing as "little boxes" of different colors "all made out of ticky-tacky" and which "all look just the same".

I am not a big Ani DiFranco fan but I thought her style lent itself to “My Name Is Liza Kalvelage,” a song more relevant now than perhaps even when it was written. https://youtu.be/XIqNYxBct1c?si=4KdECjyzJr_EmQEk #protest #ProtestMusic #AniDiFranco #MalvinaReynolds

In March I try to surf #IWD all month long and focus my #StupidAccordionTricks on kick-ass women songwriters, so here's #MalvinaReynolds' 1964 protest song #ItIsntNice, a tune whose time has come again.

Malvina Reynolds was a gem of a human. A big activist, born to two activists, and a great musician to boot. Her most famous song, “Little Boxes” is fantastic. If you don’t know it by name, you’ve most likely heard it.

Anyway, here’s an live version that she performed back in 1976:

#MalvinaReynolds' #prochoice anthem "Back Alley Surgery" is regularly censored on Youtube by religious fanatics.

"Supreme Court sits in Washington
Every one a mother's son.
Women's fate is lost and won
Behind that heavy door.
The justices preside in noble ease,
None of them ever suffers pregnancies,
So they hand out decisions such as these:
Back alley abortions for the poor."

#MalvinaReynolds' "We don't need the men" (1958, 59?) is an absolute gem.
