Although American women have written many of our most memorable popular songs, their contributions have received little recognition. The first biographical dictionary devoted to American women songwriters, this work profiles 181 wellknown and littleknown women who have written popular and motion picture songs, musicals, country, blues, jazz, folk, gospel, and hymns. Many AfricanAmerican and contemporary songwriter/performers such as Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Mariah Carey are included. This volume provides hardtofind biographical and career information across the broad spectrum of indigenous American popular song.A history of women's contribution to the creation of American popular song emerges through these profiles. Grattan takes pains to profile the famous, the unsung, and those who persevered through sheer tenacity and against all odds. The dictionary is divided into ten music categories and profiles are alphabetically arranged within each category. An introduction to each chapter gives an historical overview of women's contributions to that form of music. Each profile consists of an uptodate biographical essay on private life, career as both songwriter and, in many cases, performer, most famous songs, and sources of further information. Entries are crossreferenced. Lyrics from a number of the bestknown songs by women songwriters are included. A bibliography and song index will aid the researcher.
