(SHOW THEME)
BILLBOARD - Susan Barnett (Music Out)
(:45)
The Occupy Movement went from media invisibility to headlines and then to uncertainty with the mid-November eviction from New York's Zuccotti Park. But its impact has been undeniable. I visited the Occupy Albany encampment the week before state troopers began arresting occupiers who moved onto state property. ..a situation which has put the city administration, which has refused to prosecute protesters, at odds with state government which wants the protest evicted.

Coming up, why women's voices could be the key to making progress on challenging issues and a songwriter whose music crossed musical lines.

I certainly can't vouch for my experience being an objective one - I do, after all, host a women's issues show. And yet it seems I'm hearing more about encouraging women's leadership - empowering girls - emphasizing women's role in society and in supporting an economic recovery. Feminist.com founder Marianne Schnall says it's about time.

Finally, Gilles Malkine stays a little bit closer to today with this week's profile of women in history. He discusses a singer songwriter who jumped musical barriers and went straight to the heart.
