Description
From Janet Jackson and Kate Bush to Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, women just can’t get a break! While female artists are often criticized and dismissed for not having “serious” music like their male counterparts, we take a closer look at how each of these women are far smarter than the critics make them out to be.
We examine what makes these women stand out in history with special guest, Lesley Chow, author of You’re History: The Twelve Strangest Women in Music, out now via Repeater Books. Expanding on her book, we focus specifically on what makes their music unique – from tonality to lyric choice, these women hold nothing back.
Lesley Chow is an Australian writer on music and film. She is associate editor of Bright Lights and has been published widely for two decades, including Salon, Times Literary Supplement, The Quietus, Pop Matters and CNN. Find Lesley on Twitter for more.

The Fangirl Stigma II: When Artists Hate Their Fans: For part two of our discussion on fangirls we wanted to discuss bands who have said some controversial things about having a predominantly female fan base. Join Sara Feigin and Jenna Million as they uncover double standards in the pop-punk world, where bands are judged by outsiders for attracting female fans while those in the scene don't seem to bat an eye over it. by Name 3 Songs
