"Introduced to international folk music at an early age, Jenny Vincent believed strongly in social advocacy, which she expressed through song. Born in Minnesota and raised near Chicago, Jenny moved to northern New Mexico with her first husband in 1936 at the invitation of D.H. Lawrence's widow. Enchanted with the place and its people, she has remained there ever since." "Jenny performed with such luminaries as Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Malvina Reynolds, and Earl Robinson, all social activists who used music as a voice for world peace, civil liberties, and human rights." "She later supported such cases as the Salt of the Earth strike, American Indian rights, and the rising Chicano movement. Through it all Jenny raised a family and continued her music. Now in her nineties, Jenny remains a performer and a champion of the people."--Jacket.
