  • "Rip Her to Shreds": Women's Musk According to a Butch-Femme Aesthetic
    "Rip Her to Shreds": Women's Musk According to a Butch-Femme Aesthetic Judith A, Peraino "Rip Her to Shreds" is the tide of a song recorded in 1977 by the rock group Blondie; a song in which the female singer cat­ tily criticizes another woman. It begins with the female "speak­ er" addressing other members of her clique by calling attention to a woman who obviously stands outside the group. The lis­ tener likewise becomes a member of the clique, forced to par­ ticipate tacitly in the act of criticism. Every stanza of merciless defamation is articulated by a group of voices who shout a cho­ rus of agreement, enticing the listener to join the fray. (spoken! Hey, psf pst, here she comes !lOW. Ah, you know her, would YOIl look ollhlll hair, Yah, YOIl know her, check out Ihose shoes, A version of this paper was read at the conference "Feminist Theory and Music: Toward a Common Language," Minneapolis, MN, June 1991. If) 20 Peraino Rip Her to Shreds She looked like she stepped out in the middle of somebody's cruise. She looks like the Su nday comics, She thinks she's Brenda Starr, Her nose·job is real atomic, All she needs is an old knife scar. CHORUS: (group) 00, she's so dull, (solo) come on rip her to shreds, (group) She's so dull, (solo) come on rip her to shreds.! In contrast to the backstabbing female which the Blondie song presents, so-called "women's music" emphasizes solidarity and affection between women, and reserves its critical barbs for men and patriarchal society.

  • Cruising for Olivia: Lesbian Celebrity and the Cultural Politics of Coming out in Sport
    Sociology of Sport Journal, 2011, 28, 461-477 © 2011 Human Kinetics, Inc. Cruising for Olivia: Lesbian Celebrity and the Cultural Politics of Coming Out in Sport Megan Chawansky and Jessica Margaret Francombe University of Bath This paper explores issues of sport, sponsorship, and consumption by critically interrogating the mass-mediated “coming out” narratives of professional golfer, Rosie Jones, and professional basketball player, Sheryl Swoopes. Both athletes came out publicly as gay in light of endorsements received by Olivia Cruises and Resorts—a company that serves lesbian travelers—thus marking a significant shift in the relationship between lesbian subjectivity, sport, and sponsorship. A concern with a neoliberal-infused GLBT politics underscores our analysis, and a close reading of these narratives raises complex questions about the corporatization of coming out and the existence of lesbian celebrity in sport. Cet article explore des questions de sport, de commandite et de consommation par le biais d’une interrogation critique des sorties de placard médiatisées de la golfeuse professionnelle Rosie Jones et de la joueuse de basket professionnelle Sheryl Swoopes. Les deux athlètes se sont affichées publiquement comme gaies lorsqu’elles ont fait des publicités pour la compagnie Olivia Cruises and Resorts (une entreprise qui sert les voyageuses lesbiennes), ce qui a apporté un change- ment important dans les relations entre la subjectivité lesbienne, le sport et les commandites. Notre analyse est marquée d’une préoccupation pour les politiques GLBT imprégnées de néo-libéralisme. Une lecture attentive des récits soulève des questions complexes au sujet de la privatisation de la sortie de placard et de l’existence des célébrités lesbiennes en sport.

  • Ladyslipper Music
    LADYSLIPPER MUSIC •Records and Tapes by Women LADYSLIPPER MUSIC is a project of three North Carolina women who are interested in expanding the scope and availability of Women's music, in exploring and snaring the herstory of of women in music, and in working with and for other women to make a living. We want to be able to build a catalog of records and tapes by women that reflects our pasts, our presents and our futures. We want to find and share with you music by women of all ages, races, and classes. Music created and performed by women is as varied and unique as we are. Bringing it together into one catalog won't be easy—so we do have our limits. Records that are mass produced by major record labels and available in most record stores, we won't carry. What you will find offered by Ladyslipper are recordings of Women's music (i.e., music written, performed and produced by women, on women's labels, for women)...records documenting the herstory of women in music...record­ ings by women throughout the world and in foreign (to us) languages...music for children that doesn't insult kids' intelligence or bore them...political and non-sexist music...recordings of women with non-traditional styles and instuments...music that reflects innovative contributions by women...and some rare or just hard-to-get recordings. We feel that it is important for women to support the struggles, hard work and commitment of those women who have formed their own record companies and/or produced records with women's energy and talents.

  • The Disappearing L
    1 The Soundtrack of Our Awakening I seem to have spent my entire life listening to boys talk about music. And sometimes, no matter how smart or untrivial or mean- ingful the boy might be, the sheer aesthetic presence of a masculine voice in record talk can get on my nerves. Because there are so many males talking, all the time, about everything, on television and on the radio, that I just get sick of men. —Sarah Vowell, Radio On We were not the first feminist musicians to sing out, but this tour jump-started a cultural phenomenon that would change the lives of hundreds of thousands of women and men; it laid the ground- work so that a dozen years later, young independent women could dominate the music industry. At the same time, millions of people never even knew it happened. —Holly Near, Fire in the Rain . Singer in the Storm Not wanting to identify with women’s music is the same thing as not wanting to call yourself a feminist. —Kaia Wilson, The Butchies, Co-owner, Mr. Lady Records For more than thirty years, I’ve collected the work of feminist musicians and comedians who enjoyed cult status as lesbian stage performers in the 23 © 2016 State University of New York Press, Albany 24 The Disappearing L 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s. These groundbreaking artists, earning very little in return for what they gave to the women’s community, worked tirelessly as local and national activists. Against all odds, they made the subject of lesbian rights into dance music, whether on bass guitar, piano, banjo, drum kit, saxophone, horn, djembe, or flute.

Abstract This quantitative study examines the diversity of women1 included in music videos with relationships between two women through a comparative content analysis. Informed by intersectionality and queer theory, this study investigated the racial diversity, body diversity, gender performance, and tropes present in music videos with queer women couples (n=473) through a quantitative content analysis. This study also compared the diversity and tropes present in music videos made by musicians who identify as lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and queer women and music videos made by non-queer musicians. Quantitative data was collected and reported for musicians who identify outside of the gender binary (e.g. non-binary, gender non- conforming, agender), but they were not included in the comparative analysis2. This thesis reports that the majority of women included in these music videos are white (62.79%), thin (98.73%), feminine (79.07%). In addition, the music videos often contained themes that exploit queer women’s sexuality either by a non-queer artist trying to gain queer women’s viewership or by portraying queer women’s relationships as for men’s pleasure.

  • Feeling Womens Culture, JDTC, 26.2.Dolan, 2012
    Access Provided by Princeton University at 07/17/12 10:55AM GMT Spring 2012 205 Feeling Women’s Culture: Women’s Music, Lesbian Feminism, and the Impact of Emotional Memory Jill Dolan What is women’s music? It is a song, rising from the footsteps of seven million women who were burned at the stake in the Middle Ages. Or songs that make love; oh, please do listen to the songs that make love. Maybe it is music for those who love or want to learn to love women amid misogyny. It represents our brazenness as well as our tenderness; our brilliance as well as our moments of weakness; our passion as well as our despair; our bravery as well as our fear; our desire to be mothers as well as our choice not to have children; our lesbianism as well as our heterosexuality, bisexuality, or celibacy; but especially our lesbianism, for even if we don’t actively live lesbian lives, understanding the desire to make love with a woman is divine approval of making love to ourselves.1 —Holly Near, “Fire in the Rain” This essay considers lesbian feminist cultural production in the 1970s as an activist project fueled by potent, newly expressed emotions, which has yet to be given its due in feminist or LBGTQ scholarship. As an erstwhile lesbian feminist myself, I’d like to recuperate the visionary cultural work which, I believe, was caught in the crosshairs of political and academic history, falling victim to the poststructuralist theoretical critique and becoming a scapegoat for a new academic field trying hard to establish itself as legitimate and serious.
