feminist activist and musician. She is the sister of fellow activist and musician, Jennifer Abod
.
Susan Abod has a degree in
music composition from DePaul University, and also studied at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago.[1]
Abod was a member of the
Michigan Womyn's Festival, and would tour the United States. By 1982 she had completed a solo tour of Europe, where she sang in women's crisis centers, bookstores, shelters and nightclubs focused around women.[2]
In the early 1980s she moved to
Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome and told she had multiple chemical sensitivity, an unrecognized controversial diagnosis characterized by chronic symptoms attributed to exposure to low levels of commonly used chemicals, in 1986. Despite health struggles, she continued to make music. She'd go on to create an hour-long documentary about her and other women's illnesses, titled "Funny You Don't Look Sick: Autobiography of an Illness". The documentary was completed in three years and the premier was held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1995.[2][4]
In 2004, she produced and recorded a solo CD of her original music, for which was nominated for an Outmusic award for Best Female Debut CD.[2] She lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico.[1]
