The 37 women profiled here are representative of the many blueswomen who performed in the United States through the end of World War II. Some are well known (e.g., Lucille Bogan and Sippie Wallace), but many are obscure (such as Lil Johnson, Liza Brown and Margaret Whitmire). Biographical profiles are followed by a sampling of the performers' lyrics.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully crafted look at the women of the blues era.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blueswomen: Profiles of 37 Early Performers, With an Anthology of Lyrics, 1920-1945 (Hardcover)
Blueswomen was a joy to read. Ms. Bourgeois does an excellent job bringing to life
the woefully overlooked women of the blues era. Her profiles are insightful and her
prose captures the rich flavor of the time. This book is a must for anyone who loves
music or is simply interested in the fascinating lives and lyrics of
these women.
