This week, we are proud to present 25+ genre-spanning independent female musicians from every corner of the globe, including: United States (California, Hawaii, New York, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Massachusetts), Canada, Italy, Brazil, UK, France, Japan and Sweden.

If you're on Twitter, you probably are already hip to the use of hash tags (#) to identify topics and trends ... and you probably see the same ones every Monday, "#MusicMonday", "#musicmonday" and "#MM".  These hash tags facilitate worldwide recommendations/promos/plugs/playlists/reviews/concerts/gear and MUCH more throughout Twitter, and now the entire web! 

Here at WomensRadio, we use them to give an added boost to the world's finest Independent Female Musicians submitting to our studios.  Here are a couple of submissions we picked up early Monday morning:
