1-800-On-Her-Own

Synopsis

In the early ’90s, Ani DiFranco crashed onto the music scene as a thundering new voice. Unapologetically bisexual, political, and feminist, Ani became a worldwide phenomenon when she founded the first “woman-run non-corporate queer-happy” label, Righteous Babe records, beating the male-dominated music industry at their own game. The press called her “an entrepreneurial wonder” and “the industry’s worst nightmare.” Ani simply called herself a folk singer, dedicated to art, activism, and staying true to herself, no matter the cost.
