TOUGH MARY: Songs for the glitches in the Stepford program, the mechanized housewives who broke the mold and decided to seize the world with their bare hands. In polka dotted dresses and high heels that send shivers down everyone else's spines as they tap on the floor, these women aren't afraid to go for what they want. Men have denied them enough. This is their time. [LISTEN]
