Contributors trace women's emerging roles in society as seen through women's bands--concert and marching--spanning three centuries of American history. Authors explore town, immigrant, industry, family, school, suffrage, military, jazz, and rock bands, adopting a variety of methodologies and theoretical lenses in order to assemble and interrogate their findings within the context of women's roles in American society over time.--Page [4] of cover.Women's bands (Music)United StatesHistoryBands (Music)United StatesHistoryWomen musiciansUnited StatesWomen's bands (Music)History.Bands (Music)History.Women musicians784.082/0973Sullivan Jill M.1963-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798865803321Women's bands in America3738387UNINA
