Women in jazz: musicality, femininity, marginalization

Introduction: A saturated and hierarchized professional world

Part one, Jazz singer : such a "feminine" job. Vocal jazz, commerical jazz, gendered jazz ; So "feminine" in such a "masculine" world ; The voice is not an instrument ; An irresistible "feminine" seduction ; Amateur vocal jams : an illusory gendered transgression?

Part two, Some "great chicks". Very "well-endowed" young women ; Difficult access to stable working networks ; Women in a man's world : reconciling the irreconcilable? ; Managing one's "femininity" in public : disparagement, neutrality or seduction?

Conclusion.
