Bibliography. Discography.
Popular music grew out of ragtime, vaudeville and the blues, to become global mass entertainment. Women like Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith were the original pop divas, yet eighty years after they blazed a trail, have their successors achieved the recognition and affirmation they deserve? Or has the only way to success been to slot into saleable images of the cute babe or sexy chanteuse? She Bop II refuses to look at women artists simply as personalities, problems or victims. From dream babes to rock chicks, Riot Grrrls and ragamuffins, this is the uncompromising story of women as creators and innovators.
