What counts as a lady anthem? In this episode, we discuss (and listen to!) girl groups, Janis Joplin, queens of disco, and some of the original divas.
In our first music episode, we jam out with some of the greatest women of music from the 1960s and the 1970s. Listen as women go from crying over a man to singing “hear me roar,” and from waiting on “Mr. Postman” to singing odes to “The Pill.”
Which girls groups staged a protest to get their royalties? How does the history of female musicians relate to to the women’s movements?
You’ll hear some of your favorite songs, and you won’t believe what songs made chart-topping history (clue: they’re not the ones we are still singing).
