摘要
Structural changes in the United States during the 1920s enabled African American females to attain an historically prominent position as classic blues singers. Historical analysis of record availability, is combined with analysis of song lyrics to assess the relevance of Connell's ideas in explaining the success of these women: Connell's theory of gender structures offers three loci within which to frame such structures: labor, power and intimate relationships. Analysis of available popular music recordings during the period indicates that these singers were influential beyond their particular genre, whereas lyrical analysis mainly points to the importance of intimate relationships.
