Goddess in Progress is a 1984 EP (labeled as a "Specially Priced Mini LP") by Julie Brown,[1][2] released on Rhino Records on 12" vinyl and cassette. The two tracks on side one first appeared on Brown's independently released 1983 single "I Like 'Em Big And Stupid"; and two of the three tracks on side two were later included on the soundtrack of Earth Girls Are Easy, a film starring Brown and Geena Davis and based on the song of the same name.
