American Women's History: Music
http://frank.mtsu.edu/~kmiddlet/history/women/wh-music.html
An archival look into the impact of the oft-undervalued gender, the research database covers a wide range of topics, including women’s influence on music, historically a patriarchal realm. The site lists a number of biographical sources, erudite journals and digital and manuscript collections to further explore women’s history, including a discussion of jazz legend Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit” and folk songs sung by women.
