Borough of Manhattan Community College Female Expressing a New Wave Paper

How do the female artists discussed in this week’s chapters express a new wave (3rd generation) of feminism?

Part One

1) Write a synopsis (100-150 words) of both chapters, including some background context (social, historical) and discussion of the important ideas in the chapter. Focus especially closely on the how the authors present these artists as contributors to feminism.

2) Answer the question (100-150 words): Focusing on one chapter of your choice, how does the chapter’s author address one or more of our class themes (a) music’s role in galvanizing community; b) music’s role in highlighting problematics in systems of power and social injustice; c) music as a means for inspiring action.

Part Two

3) Post a YouTube or Spotify link with a track related to your chosen reading above. Then, write a short analysis of the song (100-150 words), including lyrics, performance context, influence, etc. Think about exercising your music vocabulary and listening skills!
