Ani DiFranco is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and musician who has released twenty-three albums, traversing genres and addressing a range of autobiographical, political, and social issues. She is widely considered a feminist icon, and created her own record label, Righteous Babe Records, in 1990. DiFranco released a collection of poems and paintings titled Verses in 2007. Her memoir, No Walls and the Recurring Dream, was a New York Times bestseller, and she is the author of two children's books, The Knowing and Show Up and Vote.

Review Quotes: For a lot of people, Ani DiFranco's music might be emblematic of a certain time--of clove cigarettes and coffee shops, dorm rooms and Doc Martens. But that hasn't stopped her from continuing to develop herself and her sound . . . Aside from her new album--which she recorded with BJ Burton, making this only the second record in almost thirty-five years that she didn't self-produce--she's currently starring on Broadway as the goddess Persephone in Anaïs Mitchell's Hadestown . . . She is still a ball of energy at fifty-three, her eyes as piercing as they were on the cover of her 1990 debut--even if her head isn't quite as shaved.-- "Rolling Stone, on Ani DiFranco"
