Summary
For Women's History Month we will be doing four straight weeks of ladies. To kick things off we have one of our all time favorite country music songs. "Independence Day" by Martina McBride. Written by Gretchen Parsons, this gut wrenching tale of a family ripped apart by violence and alcoholism doubles as a take down of America's treatment of women. Warning: this song is not light hearted and the topics of domestic abuse and violence do come up.
