A Feminist Perspective on New Orleans Jazzwomen
Tucker S. 2004. A Feminist Perspective on New Orleans Jazzwomen. NPS Special History Study. NPS: New Orleans Jazz Historic Park. New Orleans, Louisisana
This is a study of women in New Orleans jazz, contracted by the National Park Service, completed between 2001 and 2004. Women have participated in numerous ways, and in a variety of complex cultural contexts, throughout the history of jazz in New Orleans. While we do see traces of women’s participation in extant New Orleans jazz histories, we seldom see women presented as central to jazz culture. Therefore, they tend to appear to occupy minor or supporting roles, if they appear at all. This Research Study uses a feminist perspective to increase our knowledge of women and gender in New Orleans jazz history, roughly between 1880 and 1980, with an emphasis on the earlier years.
