Misogyny Opus - "Better Standard Than This"
The Single
On October 9th, 2012, Australia’s first and so far only female Prime Minister The Hon. Julia Gillard AC delivered a speech with a message that reverberated around the world addressing misogyny and sexism. Her words carried the power of a long history of women experiencing a lesser standing in our world.
I was so inspired by the message of equality, I have set this iconic speech to music, word for word, with permission.
I invite you to watch the music video and hear the single "Better Standard Than This".
The album of the full pop-orchestral work - the Misogyny Opus is available now.
All of humankind deserves a better standard than we currently experience.
