Hillary Clinton chose Celine Dion for her theme song. Our readers have chosen “Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves” by Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin. The selection of this song, first released in 1985, may or may not indicate something about the blog readers’ demographics. Or their appreciation for a roarin’ feminist anthem. Or their taste in dance music. Equally plausible, the selection indicates nothing much (of significance, at least).
Here’s a little bit of feministlawprof trivia. Of the 62 professors who were listed in the blogroll as of June 1, 2006, 30 were born in or after 1960; 21 were born in or after 1966; 25 were born between 1963 and 1973.

I’m very pleased with the winner. Many years ago that is the song I cranked to get me psyched up for my first solo deposition. Then a secretary came into my office to ask me to turn down the volume, but danced with me for a couple of minutes first.
I have to say I am glad to see at least one choice that did not contain the word “sister”. Sisters and brothers would not have left myself and my children trying to decide where we fit in, if we do. But as Brigette said there may be no significance to the choice. In any case, we will cotinue to fight for equality AND enjoy good tunes.
