There are few things more precious and interesting than a Golden Age. There was a Golden Age of a particular kind of music that ran from the twenties through the fifties: the golden age of popular standards; the songs that constitute The Great American Song Book. These tunes were written by dapper, creative giants like Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, the Gershwins, Johnny Mercer, Hoagy Charmichael, Jerome Kern, and Dorothy Fields. Urbane sophisticated talents who created a body of work that effortlessly captures that urbanity and sophistication.
They created tunes focused on the subject of romantic love and exploring all the stages and aspects of the arc of a great love affair: from the initial “walking on air” to the jaded ennui of “never again”. They were obsessed with this theme and subject. Describing, exploring, and driving deep into all its mysteries. These composers and lyricists were in love with Love.
These tunes wed lyrics and music into songs that were crafted by songwriting teams originally centered around Tin Pan Alley; The Brill Building on Broadway in Mid town Manhattan. These songwriting teams in many cases split the composing tasks along functional lines: one writing the music and on writing the lyrics. The composers were writing vehicles for others to perform and usually pitched the tunes in the context of a Broadway or Hollywood musical. They were cranking out tunes for the Hollywood and Broadway dream factories at a prodigious pace. They really worked! Cranking out so many songs, they have a tossed off, effortless quality and a guileless directness. They feel unpretentious and casual: genuine and authentic. But their craft and genius raise these songs to high art.
Many of these tunes became popular hits in their own right, lifted out of the shows and movies, and have been recorded by all the great performers. Fred Astaire debuted many of these tunes and was a favorite of the writing teams. He was known as much for his singing as his dancing! Diana Krall, Harry Connick Jr. and Michael Buble are some of the latest to pay homage to the songbook.
This document examines the adversity faced by women in the music industry over time. In the classical era, talented female composers faced suppression and were unable to perform on stage due to their gender. Isabella Leonarda overcame these challenges to publish numerous compositions. During the 1940s and 1960s, women began performing in bands and solo but faced expectations to be sexual icons. Figures like Ella Fitzgerald and Joan Baez achieved success despite struggles and used their music to advocate for civil rights. By the 1990s, women rappers addressed topics like sex and drugs openly. Today, women in music have achieved greater equality and respect and can pursue diverse genres freely by learning from the accomplishments of those who came before.

Women have faced marginalization and invisibility in histories of popular music. They have often been viewed primarily as singers and restricted from instrumental roles. To achieve success, women sometimes had to masquerade as masculine or temporarily assume expert positions normally held by men. Girl groups in particular were seen as transitory and meant to keep femininity in a subordinate role rather than allow women to achieve long-term fame or fortune. However, some artists have challenged gender stereotypes and pushed back against the notion that women cannot have their own musical ideas or be true collaborators.
