In the early '90s, Ani DiFranco appeared on the male-dominated folk scene with an impassioned feminist voice, an idiosyncratic staccato guitar style and sophisticated, socially aware songwriting that belied her youth. Whether she's rallying against authority and unpacking sexual politics on the fingerpicked “Both Hands”, embarking on a journey of self-exploration on the bubbly “Little Plastic Castle” or exploring her bisexuality on the taut womanifesto “Shameless”, her revolutionary sound eviscerates the line between personal and political.
