Records of a Seattle-based women's chorus.
The Seattle Women's Ensemble, a feminist choral group that was broadly
supported by the Seattle area women's community of the 1980s and '90s,
performed culturally diverse music that often focused on women's issues.
Through its performances, the Seattle Women's Ensemble supported other
organizations that shared its goals. Management issues were important to the
group, with its feminist consciousness and culture. The Seattle Women's
Ensemble disbanded in 2000.
