Rebel girls, girl power, lady rock stars, Lilith Fair, and shaking off scrubs.
In our second music episode, we rock out with some of the greatest women of music from the 1980s and the 1990s. Listen as Madonna, Cyndi Lauper embrace their personal power, and Joan Jett and the Go-Go’s make space for female-led bands. In the 90s, we get alternative, and discuss songs that speak to what it was like to be a girl - or man, to feel like a woman.
Which songs speak to us about the complexity of womanhood? How does the history of female musicians relate to to women’s movements?
You’ll hear some of your favorite songs, and you’ll pick a side on our debate about Britney and Christina.
