Born a Woman: A Tribute to the Early Feminist Songs of Rita MacNeil

Thursday, August 20, 2026 · 10:00 p.m. · 116 Commercial St, Glace Bay, NS B1A 6J3, Canada

Singer Rita MacNeil's early feminist songs from 1975 get revisited in this tribute concert.

This tribute concert explores Rita MacNeil's early feminist songs from 1975, written while she was active in Toronto's women's liberation movement. Before her later fame, MacNeil performed at protests and wrote about identity, independence, and autonomy as part of activist spaces. The concert revisits this lesser-known chapter of her career.
