Feminism rocks! : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This project is an exploration of feminist themes in contemporary music. Two different formats are used. First, a CD of 12 songs which we feel exemplify feminism in music today. These songs are by artists from different genres. They range from rap to Broadway to country. Second, a monograph containing the lyrics of all the songs, as well as information about the artists. With this project, we hope to show that feminism is alive in music today. Artists in different genres and of different ages are all expressing the power they feel as women.
