About the Event
In the mid-60s, Janis Ian, a teenage Jewish singer-songwriter from New Jersey scored a hit song, “Society's Child,” about an interracial relationship. The song launched her illustrious career but also ignited controversy, plunging her into an emotional tailspin, only to emerge from the ashes with an even bigger hit ("At Seventeen," 1975) about body shaming. For the next six decades, Ian overcame homophobia, record industry misogyny and a life-threatening illness to produce an indelible body of work that continues to draw large audiences around the globe.
