Thanks for all the tips everyone! I really appreciate friendly forums such as this. I will try out all of your advice.

I agree that any song can be a womans song, and I sing a lot of songs no matter what the subject. I just thought it would be nice to learn some new ones that were designed and obviously sung from the woman's point of view.

For example there are a lot of beautiful folk/trad. songs about working in the mines, or on ships about the hard work and frequent difficulties, but what about contemporary songs about how the women felt about losing their men (father, lovers, husbands, sons) to these travails?

As time permits I will certainly search the past threads and databases. Thanks again!
