Copper Wimmin met in a children’s chorus at the age of twelve. Sophia Mallie, Kiranjot Kaur, and Alyx Autuori grew up best friends and began writing and performing their own songs in their late teens. The groups name ‘Copper Wimmin’ originates from the book ‘The Daughters of Copper Woman’ by Anne Cameron. The book is a collection of creation legends from indigenous peoples of Canada. According to one legend, the first woman on earth was Copper Woman.
