Who is Karen from The Dance of the Dissident Daughter: A Woman's Journey from Christian Tradition to the Sacred Feminine and what is their importance?

Karen is both a friends and musician. She lives in Utah. Karen serves as reminder to Sue that women's creativity has always existed, but that it has been misappropriated by men. Monk says that women have too often been content to be muses rather than musicians, and those who create too often parrot patriarchal thought. Those women who speak authentically are neglected, obscured, and overlooked.
