This raises a host of questions about how gender is performed on stage, and also how musical theater had the power to help define gender roles. On one hand, theater could objectify women as sexual spectacle; on the other, women on stage could have a powerful voice as cultural critics&#8211;which they used to their advantage during the women&#8217;s suffrage movement.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"lcp_catlist\" id=\"lcp_instance_0\"><li><a href=\"http:\/\/mugn.leahbranstetter.com\/?p=369\">3\/18: Women on Broadway and in Variety Theater \u2013 Chorus Girls<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/mugn.leahbranstetter.com\/?p=371\">3\/20: Music and the Women\u2019s Suffrage Movement<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/mugn.leahbranstetter.com\/?p=373\">3\/25: Women\u2019s Fashion and Musical Performance<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/mugn.leahbranstetter.com\/?p=375\">3\/27: Paper Meetings (no class)<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Top<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"unit6\">\n<hr>\n<p><strong><u>Unit 6<\/u>: Women and Popular Music in the Twentieth Century &#8211; Intersections of Race, Class, and Gender<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Weeks 12 and 13<\/em><br \/>\nIn this section of the class, we will turn a critical eye toward several genres of popular music&#8211; including the blues, rock and roll, and hip hop.
