Ladies in Jazz
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research paper that looks at the history of women performers in jazz. The general public assumes that jazz is male territory. Even though the names of some of the women who were influential in jazz history are well known, it's as if somehow they don't count-they were flukes-exceptions. Nevertheless, women have been intrinsically involved in jazz since its beginnings. They may not have gotten the bookings, sometimes their arrangements became famous while they did not, but they have been there every step of the way-whether the men liked it or not.
