Gender and Pop Music Blog

I am attending a summer class this year and it is a requirement to write a journal. To meet this requirement I have decided to start a blog specifically for Women's and Gender Studies 204.3 - Gender and Pop Music. All of the entries will deal with gender and music in some form and some may even comment on the articles read in class.
