Welcome to the Raging Grannies of Madison and Dane County's archival website! Learn about their two decades of inspirational feminist grassroots activism in Wisconsin and approach to progressive politics. We hope you enjoy exploring this collection of songs, material culture (including an historical array of granny hats, aprons, songbooks, political buttons, instruments, etc.), event photos, mass media coverage, and written narratives. In addition, please take time to click on video and audio clips of their original performances and engaging personal stories. 

This archive intends to help audiences understand the reach of the Raging Grannies’ political work, as well as the immense social value of investing time in grassroots protest activities. It focuses on the commitment and enthusiasm this work often entails. In addition, it highlights community and social justice issues that the Raging Grannies address, along with the close personal relationships that have been formed in the process. As you will see, Raging Grannies performances center peace, human dignity, democratic values, and inclusivity, along with gender and racial equality, especially during times of crisis.
