Canadian Women in Song

A heartfelt tribute to the voices, stories, and strength of Canadian women in music and beyond. This lovely collection brings together singer-songwriters, trailblazing performers, and cultural icons whose contributions shaped the sound and soul of Canada throughout the 20th century. From folk to jazz, pop to classical, and every heartfelt note in between, Canadian Women in Song also honours the broader influence of women who paved the way in arts, media, and public life. Graceful, powerful, and enduring—this is the sound of inspiration.
