Is it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wholecelium.com\/blog\/psychedelic-icon-jimi-hendrix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jimi Hendrix<\/a> decimating a guitar solo? Is it the vast soundscapes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wholecelium.com\/blog\/psychedelic-spotlight-50th-anniversary-of-the-dark-side-of-the-moon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pink Floyd<\/a>? Could it be the immersive vibes of Grateful Dead? There are many unarguably iconic male-fronted bands of the genre. But have you ever delved into the oeuvre of the women who exemplify the psychedelic vibe and ethos? Although there are not as many well-known female artists, when compared to your Zappas and your Barrets, they certainly exist, and are every part as trippy as their male counterparts.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-times-were-a-changing\">Times Were A&#8217;Changing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"716\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wholecelium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/peace-sign.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-183490\" style=\"width:322px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wholecelium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/peace-sign.png 728w, https:\/\/www.wholecelium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/peace-sign-300x295.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wholecelium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/peace-sign-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/www.wholecelium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/peace-sign-600x590.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time that psychedelic music was being forged in the 1960s, society was changing at a pace. Not only were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/black-history\/civil-rights-movement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Civil Rights<\/a> advancing, and environmental concerns coming to the fore, women\u2019s rights were smack-bang in the spotlight too. More and more women entered the workplace, and the <em>(still unrealised!) <\/em>goal of equal pay for equal work was established. The introduction of the pill meant women had more autonomy over their bodies. The future seemed so bright, you had to wear groovy sunglasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It follows then, that the women who helped to build the psychedelic music movement at this time, were free and creative in ways that had not been \u2018acceptable\u2019 before. Their mothers were homemakers, with coiffed hair, dinner on the table at six, and a baby on each hip. This new generation wore their hair long, danced wildly, and knew they could be anything they wanted. In the many years that have followed, despite society opening itself almost entirely to women, psychedelic music, and the sounds and aesthetics of the movement, still represent a special kind of freedom to both women <em>and<\/em> men. The chance to get crazy, convene with nature, and dream.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-international-women-s-day-2024\">International Women&#8217;s Day 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:21px\">So, for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.internationalwomensday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Women\u2019s Day 2024<\/a>, we\u2019re going to push the ladies to the front.
