Abstract
This thesis examines Barbara Pentland's relationship with feminist and gender issues as explored in her 1976 song cycle Disasters of the Sun.

It briefly examines the collaboration between Pentland and the poet Dorothy Livesay and their relationship with the feminist movement in Canada. The latter half of this study is devoted to a detailed analysis of the seven songs in the cycle.
