Joanie Leeds' 9th children's album, titled All The Ladies, is a passionate and honest serving of female empowerment folk tunes aiming to inspire young girls and people of all ages and gender identities.

Produced by GRAMMY Award Winner Lucy Kalantari, Joanie’s album, releasing April 3rd 2020, shortly after International Women’s Day, showers praise upon influential women such as Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsberg in ‘RBG’. She reinforces that young girls can be ‘Anything’ no matter what you look like or where you come from in ‘You’re Beautiful’ and by working together “All the Ladies” can continue to break ‘Glass Ceilings’ (inspired by The Guardian article, “Four Reasons not to tell your Daughter She’s Pretty” by Sarah Newton/Carol Dweck). ‘Lioness’ reflects on the fierce animal instincts of a mother.

Leeds also addresses difficult topics in a child-friendly way such as systemic sexism and a hope for real gender equality in ‘Half the World’, divorce and single motherhood in ‘Rosie Darling’, miscarriages and the motherhood bond in ‘For You’, and proposes a matriarchal society in ‘If Girls Ruled the World’ inspired by the Himalayan Mosuo tribe. Also, not forgetting to be kind to the ultimate mother, “Mother Earth.’ 

A USC Annenberg study revealed that only 2 percent of music producers and 3 percent of engineers are women. In the predominately male music industry and in the spirit of lifting up women in music, Joanie has ensured everyone involved with All The Ladies is female- (Producer, Engineer, instrumentalists, guest vocalists, mixing engineer, master engineer, graphic artists and even her photographer). 

A percentage of the proceeds will go straight to the National Women’s Law Center (advocates, experts, and lawyers who fight for gender justice by driving change in the courts, in public policy, and in society, especially for women facing multiple forms of discrimination.) 

The album’s first single release, RBG will release on Friday March 13th, two days before Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 87th birthday (March 15th) and in the same week as International Women’s Day (March 8th). 

The full album, All the Ladies will release release on April 3rd, also the same year as the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment, granting women the right to vote in 1920
