These women used their songs to proclaim their pain or to speak up and protest unfair conditions and discrimination. Through their songs, they expressed a desire for freedom and equality in a time when women were almost universally subjugated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The 37 women profiled here are representative of the many blueswomen who performed in the United States through the end of World War II. Some are well known (e.g., Lucille Bogan and Sippie Wallace), but many are obscure (such as Lil Johnson, Liza Brown and Margaret Whitmire). Biographical profiles are followed by a sampling of the performers' lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Stong Bourgeois\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786421223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786421220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.02w x 0.45d","brand":"Anna Stong Bourgeois","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48112966172927,"sku":"9780786421220","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e6db85f-2b51-4a68-90b1-2dec71a8e823.jpg?v=1769612150","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blueswomen-anna-stong-bourgeois-9780786421220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
