### [**Let Us Now Praise Famous Women**](http://cityreliquary.org/famouswomen) **Friday, Dec. 9 @ 7 PM Tix: $8/$5 Reliquary members**

Join us **Friday, Dec. 9** to celebrate and be entertained, edified and uplifted by the exceptional musical contributions of great American women. As an antidote to some of the current toxic political rhetoric, Brooklyn-based film/video archivist Russell Scholl will present ***Let Us Now Praise Famous Women***, a program celebrating the accomplishments of groundbreaking female musicians.

The evening will include vintage country, soul, jazz, pop, blues, and gospel performances by women who were pioneers in frequently male-dominated music scenes, such as Sister Rosetta Tharpe. On offer will be rare musical shorts, Scopitones, Soundies, and television and film appearances made between 1932 and 2001.

Tickets are $8 general admission, $5 for Reliquary members. [Become a member today!](https://www.artful.ly/the-city-reliquary/store/memberships)
