Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Seattle Women's Ensemble, a feminist choral group founded in 1980, performed culturally diverse music which often focused on women's issues. The women of SWE were enthusiastically supported by Seattle's lesbian and feminist communities, but other issues including class, diversity, and the plight of oppressed groups, were also important to the Seattle Women's Ensemble. The chorus disbanded in 2000.
