Show moreRenowned American folk singer Peggy Seeger presents a one woman show entitled, "A feminist view of women and work in Anglo-American traditional songs" at the Michigan State University Main Library. Seeger discusses the portrayal of women in song from early English and American compositions to songs from the modern era and performs many folk standards to illustrate her points. According to Seeger, the traditional folk song is descriptive rather than change oriented and either serves to reinforce male dominance or illustrates the plight of women in a "man's world". She divides her program into five parts, the "norm at home", the "norm at work", "bucking the norm" and "new songs by women". Seeger is introduced by MSU Professor John Beck of the School of Labor and Industrial Relations. Part of the "Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives" lecture series sponsored by the MSU Museum and the MSU School of Labor and Industrial Relations.

She discusses the history of the term craftivism and ties it to the idea of rhetorical needlework, defining both ideas before positioning both as important feminist tools in the material culture. Pristash looks at recent and historical examples of rhetorical needlework, pointing out the elements that make it rhetorical as well as the ways in which these materials were used as activism, focusing on "Wool against weapons," a project connecting two towns in England housing nuclear weapons with a single, continuous wool scarf to protest the Trident missile program. Pristash also explores the Nike Blanket Petition, organized by Cat Mazza, as an example of large scale public art and contrasts it with mini-banners created by the Craftivist Collective. Part of the "Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives" Brown Bag series sponsored by the Michigan State University School of Human Resources and Labor Relations, and the MSU Museum.
