It is a little-known fact that women were the early carriers of this music, and certainly the first to popularize it. Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Dinah Washington, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Memphis Minnie, Ruth Brown, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Nina Simone, Bonnie Raitt — each of these women, in their time, used this “truth-telling” musical form to challenge how society regards women.
This course will explore women of the blues and the influences of these fierce, passionate artists. History, music appreciation, some singalongs, films.
