Write down five (Favorite)  female musicians. ,[object Object],Before we begin…,[object Object]
Roles for Women in rock music,[object Object],Women adopt four strategies for constructing themselves as rock musicians:  ,[object Object],The first simply imitates the male model: women enact the norms (toughness, aggression, rebellion) of masculinity.  ,[object Object],In the second strategy, women bring ‘femininity’ to rock by positing a female strength (which may valorize normative constructions of femininity).  ,[object Object],The third, more postmodern strategy recognizes the performative nature of gender and relies on the construction of self-conscious and provisional identities that can be turned against the society that created them.  ,[object Object],The final strategy recognizes the painful tension that exists for women between assuming a feminine essence and performing a series of strategic identities, and it focuses on the process between the two” (Carson, Lewis, and Shaw 78).   ,[object Object]
Think over your favorite (Female) musicians.  What strategies do you think they are using?  Any?  Many?  ,[object Object],Joan Jett—what strategies does she use?  Have they changed throughout her career?,[object Object]
Youtube Videos--Rap,[object Object],Queen Latifah isn’t necessarily rock, but her presence in Hip Hop has often been critical of the establishment.  In “U.N.I.T.Y.” she issues a challenge to the larger community & notes how sexism disrupts attempts at racial justice initiatives.  ,[object Object]
Youtube videos—country,[object Object],Tammy Wynette & “Your Good Girl’s Gonna Go Bad.”  How does she assert herself in this song?  Does she challenge gendered stereotypes?,[object Object],Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” deals with the notion of a glass ceiling and undervaluing of women’s work by a male boss. ,[object Object]
Youtube videos—1990s,[object Object],AniDiFranco in “Not a Pretty Girl” seeks to challenge traditional gender roles.  How does this song still rely on M/F binaries though?,[object Object],“Rebel Girl”—how is Bikini Kill challenging gender stereotypes?,[object Object]
AniDifranco“Little Plastic Castle” 1998,[object Object],People talkAbout my imageLike I come in two dimensionsLike lipstick is a sign of my declining mindLike what I happen to be wearingThe day that someone takes a pictureIs my new statement for all of womankind,[object Object]
Youtube Videos—2000s,[object Object],How effective is the role reversal that The Donna’s sing about in “Take It Off?”,[object Object],P!nk’s song “Stupid Girls” is one of the most clearly critical of contemporary women’s roles.  What sort of femininity does P!nk perform herself?,[object Object]
What’s its like to be a girl in a band?I don't quite understandThat's so quaint to hearI feel so faint my dear—Kim Gordon & Sonic Youth “Sacred Trickster” 2010,[object Object]
