Introduction

From politics to music to history and more, female contributions to society are severely underrepresented. Flipping through our textbook, 33 Revolutions Per Minute, it is discouraging, but not shocking that only a few females are mentioned. History books, English books, and science are typically written by men and about men. This lack of female representation and acknowledgement is an issue that needs to be addressed. In this blog, I will discuss the music and political influence of female musicians in an attempt to highlight the impact females have had throughout history.
