Abstract
An article about songwriter, Malvina Reynolds, who was best-known for having written the song "little Boxes." A scathing critique of the conformity of United States suburban culture, the song was made famous by Pete Seeger. It later became the theme song of the television series, "Weeds." Born to socialist Jewish immigrant parents, Reynolds was denied a high school diploma because of her parents' opposition to World War I. She remained active in left-wing causes, and much of her music reflected her political engagement. Click on the link above to read the article.
