That tour went so well that the next summer McLachlan debuted Lilith Fair\, named after the Lilith of Jewish lore: Adam’s renegade first wife. Upon its emergence in 1997\, this revolutionary travelling music festival\, helmed by superstar Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan and featuring exclusively women or women-led acts\, exploded the notion that popular music could only support a token quota of women’s voices.  It became the year’s top-grossing festival simply because the artists were so good. The Fair’s roster included Jewel\, Bonnie Raitt\, Erykah Badu\, Emmylou Harris\, Fiona Apple\, Tracy Chapman\, Sheryl Crow\, Suzanne Vega\, Indigo Girls\, and Pat Benatar. ​ \nThe documentary premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 13\, 2025.
