Cris Williamson is an American feminist singer, songwriter and recording artist. At her most notable, she was a political activist during an era when few who were unconnected to the lesbian community were aware of gay and lesbian issues.
Her music and insight have served as a catalyst for change in the creation of women-owned record companies in the 1970’s. Using her talents, networking with other female artists, and her willingness to represent those who did not yet feel safe in speaking for themselves, Williamson is credited by many in the LGBTQ community for her contributions, both artistically, and politically, and continues to be a role model for a younger generation hoping to address concerns and obtain recognition for achievements specific to people who have historically been ignored.
Throughout her career, Williamson has released dozens of albums on both Olivia Records and her own Wolf Moon Records label. Her 1975 Olivia album, The Changer and the Changed, became one of the best-selling independent albums and is considered a ground breaking album within the women’s music genre.
