Since 1959, Seeger has written hundreds of songs. Those who regard Joni
Mitchell, Carole King, and Laura Nyro as the first generation of
singer-songwriters to craft material from women's experiences should
think again. Seeger is a missing link between the 1950s American
folk-song revival and women's liberation; the guitar-toting chanteuses
of the 1970s could not have existed without either of those movements. - Laura Pellegrinellli, The Village Voice
