Late summer acid folk at its finest! This album was way ahead of its time (1968). 
"Singing or playing is a way of giving your emotions. It brings closeness and sharing when a song you are singing is joined in on by other members of a group. This has obviously been happening to us for years, as songs from Cousin Emmy, Roscoe Holcolmb, The Carter Family, The Stanley Brothers, Cajun friends and many other groups and performers have become OURS, and we could not live without them." - Eloise Schwarz, February, 1978

What we have here is the rustic music of the Berbers of the Moroccan highlands. Lots of call and response songs with only two or three notes. Sometimes beautiful and hypnotic, sometimes a little hard to listen to. The more I listen to this one, the more I love it.
"It all began as an idea to put the movement into music, a record produced and engineered, written and sung by women. So we were trying to think up a title for it. The album is sort of a private conciousness-raising session: songs to diaper babies by, songs to rivet or sculpt by, to drink or type or draw up the terms of your divorce by, to shelve books by, to make laws or run for office by, mow the lawn or fix the door by, songs to raise the heart when low, songs of sisterhood."
