Barbra Streisand: How "A Woman In The Moon" Ignited a Generation of Women

in #dakini5d6 years ago (edited)

Women who were awakened by 1970's feminism that ignited women's liberation will recognize this empowering song! While we see the global outcry against sexual harassment gaining volume and visibility, recognize the sisters who went before you and fought to make this amazing moment in history possible today!

The Woman in The Moon Lyrics as sung by Barbra Streisand:

I was warned as a child of thirteen
Not to act too strong
Try to look like you belong but don't push girl
Save your time and trouble
Don't misbehave
I was raised in a "no you don't world"
Overrun with rules
Memorize your lines and move as directed
That's an age old story
Everybody knows that's a worn out song
But you and I are changing that tune
We're learning new rhythms from the woman
I said the woman in the moon
Little sister, little brother
Keep on pushin'
Don't believe a word about
Things you heard about
Askin' too much too soon

'cause they can hold back the tide
But they can never hold the woman in the moon
I believe there's a best of both worlds
Mixing old and new
Recognizing change is seldom expected
As I long suspected
They believed that strange was a word for wrong
Well not in my song
'cause you, you and I are changing that tune
We're learning new rhythms from that woman in the moon
Little sister, little brother
Keep on pushin'
Don't believe a word about
Things you heard about
Askin' too much too soon
'cause they can hold back the tide
But they can never hold the woman
I said the woman in the moon

May all girls of the world be liberated from silence and invisibility and may mutual respect between the sexes return to the planet and usher in a global renaissance of peace, prosperity and freedom for all beings! Today, women across the Middle East, Asia and Africa and in the areas where politically engineered migration is establishing strongholds of Wahhabbiist Islamic communities in the West, are still living in complete subjugation in their own homes:

Thank you to Ani Cyrus, Nawal el Saadawi and the thousands of incredible women throughout the Middle East and Africa who have fought for decades to raise awareness about the oppression of women and girls under Sharia Law.

How can you ignite your little sister to be her own person? and your little brother to be his best self? Thank you to our fore-sisters in the 2nd wave who fought for the freedoms we have today, as humans, to express and be ourselves! Thanks for viewing my post.
