About Ladyslipper
Ladyslipper is a North Carolina non-profit, tax-exempt organization which has been involved in many facets of women's music since 1976. Our basic purpose has consistently been to heighten public awareness of the achievements of women artists and musicians, and to expand the scope and availability of musical and literary recordings by women.
One of the unique aspects of our work has been the tri-annual publication of the world's most comprehensive Catalog & Resource Guide of Recordings by Women This annotated catalog has given millions of people information about and access to recorded works by an expansive variety of female musicians, writers, comics, and composers. Many public and university libraries have added large portions of the catalog to their collections; thus the recordings are accessible to much larger populations, and are archived at the same time.
We distribute recordings to book and record stores nationally and internationally. If you know of a store in your town you'd like to see stocking the titles in the catalog, please introduce us to each other! Additionally, we supply distributors with several labels and titles.
Ladyslipper is also a small independent label; our purpose is to further new musical and artistic directions for women musicians. We have issued albums by Kay Gardner, Nurudafina Pili Abena, Libana, Lisa Thiel, Rhiannon, Casselberry-DuPree, Ruth Barrett, Ubaka Hill, and other innovative artists.
The Ladyslipper NameOur name comes from an exquisite flower which is one of the few wild orchids native to North America and is currently an endangered species...........
