Disruptive Divas - Feminism, Identity and Popular Music (Hardcover)

Disruptive Divas: Feminism, Identity and Popular Music focuses on four female musicians who have marked contemporary popular culture in unexpected ways. Tori Amos, Courtney Love, Me'Shell Ndegéocello and P. J. Harvey have impelled and disturbed the boundaries of "acceptable" female musicianship. Burns and Lafrance give close readings to individual, representative songs by each of these artists, in order to make general statements about the role of women in popular music. The artists and songs selected explore a range of textural themes and musical studies. This book shows how this material has disrupted the general expectations of popular music style, performance and marketing and empowered women in their creativity.
