Malvina Reynolds was born Malvina Milder
on August 23, 1900, to a Jewish socialist immigrant family in San Francisco,
California. In the late forties (which were also her late forties) Malvina and
husband Bud Reynolds worked together on progressive political campaigns and she
performed at folk music events in the Los Angeles area. She had been writing
the occasional popular or political song since her late thirties; by her fifties,
she had increased
her output and added children’s songs to the mix. By the time the folk
protest movements of the 1960s came along, she had honed her skills and was ready
to take on the issues of the day: civil rights, opposition to the war in Vietnam,
and the right of workers to organize. Overall she wrote hundreds of songs, some
of great beauty and many displaying a sense of humor and wit that has endeared
her to performers and listeners the world over. She died in 1978.
