Zusammenfassung:'Freedom Girls' tells the stories a group of singers - Sandie Shaw, Cilla Black, Millie Small, Dusty Springfield, Lulu, Marianne Faithfull and P.P. Arnold - whose singing voices transformed understandings of modern femininity in the 1960s. Often left out of histories of rock and pop music, the stories of these singers show us how the way we speak and sing are tied to the way we understand race and gender. This book analyses musical recordings, television programs, and a wide range of media produced for young audiences in the 1960s to show how girl singers played a crucial role in the history of pop music
