I live in Mass., too! I'm a guy, but I had lots of lesbian friends in college and that's where I first heard the song. Now I have the entire cd from an old friend. Love it!!

OMG Sweetie, I'm 50 now and this is the first "Woman's Music" album I bought when I was eighteen and just coming out. What a different world it was. I sobbed tears of joy the day we were given the right to marry in Massachusetts. Thanks so much for the memories!

Great ! thank you!!! sending lesbian amazone smiling from Europe!!

She does lay on the Us Against Them pretty thick, but musically she seems to be a strong writer. As a straight man I prefer more universal themes. Ferron or Cris Williamson come to mind.

@chessielover Her music seems to imply a dislike for men, though. That's unfortunate. I like her folk style generally but let's face it, not all guys are evil.

While it's true I like Alix Dobkin's music, in general, she does regardless sound like she has a hate on for men. It's possible she had a cruddy hetero marriage. Her daughter appears with her on the back of the "Love and Politics" CD.

This song makes being lesbian sound like the best thing on Earth. It's close, to be sure, lol. But what about cheesecake?

I saw Alix perform in Tucson about 1987, with my girlfriend, and immediately fell in love with her music. I still have 3 of her cassettes...just need to transfer them to CD so I can listen to them more. Thank you so for posting this one. Love those Lesbians!!

@dunkinqueen Lavender Jane Loves Women was the first and only 'woman's music' album that I ever bought. I still have it, but no record player.

I had forgotten about this song.
