American history gets a high-energy shakeup in the story of a surprisingly overlooked blues/jazz/folk singer, activist, feminist, record producer, and committed troublemaker. Dane's nine-decade journey shreds existing narratives around 1940s communism, 1950s white femininity, the 1960s folk scene, the 1970s GI Anti-War movement, and more. Her unbending principles guide her through notoriety and obscurity into music legend.
