Re: women in yiddish song

In regards to Sapozhkelekh, generally speaking, all yiddish 
love-folksongs are women's songs.
Some of your examples were relatively recent non-folk songs like 
Reyzele, which are clearly men's songs.
However since men often sing women's lovesongs, usually learning them 
from their mothers, the definition of womens or men's songs in 
Yiddish and any other culture for that matter gets tricky. - Itzik
