From Janis Joplin to Tori Amos, Women and Popular Music explores the changing role of women musicians and the ways in which their songs resonate in popular culture. Through a series of artist case studies Sheila Whiteley examines the interaction between feminist debates and music culture over thirty years of pop history. Why did 1960s pop culture marginalise female performers such as Dusty Springfield and Marianne Faithfull? And how have women artists like Annie Lennox responded to changing debates within feminism?
Opening with the 1960s, Sheila Whiteley examines the counter culture's reactionary attitudes to women through the lyrics of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. She explores the ways in which artists like Janis Joplin and Joni Mitchell confronted issues of sexuality and freedom, redefining women's participation in the industry, and assesses the personal cost of their achievements. She considers how stars such as Annie Lennox, Madonna and k.d. lang have explored issues of gender stereotyping and sexuality, through pop videos like Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) and Justify My Love, and looks at the enduring importance of the singer-songwriter through artists such as Tracy Chapman. She then assesses the contribution of figures like Tori Amos, PJ. Harvey and Courtney Love, and asks whether the Spice Girls are just a cartoon feminist pop group, or positive role models for teenage girls.
Sheila Whiteley is Professor of Popular Music at the University of Salford. She is the author of The Space Between the Notes (Routledge 1992) and editor of Sexing the Groove (Routledge 1997).

It is now nearly thirty years since Joni Mitchell released her album Blue(1972). It describes one or two years in her life what she learned, what she experienced. She is the theme and is placed at the centre of her story. The first track All I Want shows her to be on the road, typically the male domain of rock, evocative of Jack Kerouac and the
