Such was the underground nature of women's music. Despite the doubters, \u003ci\u003e Rubymusic \u003c\/i\u003ebecame a successful program, running for fifteen years, introducing listeners to countless artists through radio, magazines, and newspaper columns and on stage at Vancouver's annual Folk Music Fest, and serving as a powerful platform for the feminist movements taking place in Vancouver's punk scene and throughout music history in the 80s and 90s.\u003ci\u003e Rubymusic\u003c\/i\u003e also served as the launching pad for Kuhns' life-long passion--the preservation of the histories and stories of the women with whom she crossed paths on the airwaves.
