Thread Name: Songs Re Violence/Abuse to Women
Subject: RE: Songs Re Violence/Abuse to Women
I always found the song Anneke Gordon, chilling in the way she was forced into a loveless marriage to the point where her father demanded her bridesmaids remove her clothes and put her unwillingly into bed with her unwanted husband. I believe it poignantly points to the traditional abuse of daughters as bartering material for goods and gain.
