Through candid personal interviews with Lucille Ball, Carol
Burnett, and other visionary performers, Queens of Comedy explores
how comediennes have redefined the roles of women in not only the
entertainment business, but society as a whole. Detailing both
their public and private lives - as well as their many and varied
performances - Queen of Comedy examines the impact these women have
had on the predominantly male-oriented world of comedy. Performers
like Carol Burnett, Joan Rivers, and their more recent
counterparts, comediennes Brett Butler and Roseanne, have helped to
sift women's roles in comedy from object to subject. This book maps
out this shift, providing an often brutally honest picture of
women's lives in both the spotlight of comedy and this modern
world.
