  • Swing Shift : "all-girl" Bands Of The 1940s

  • Attribution

    Sherrie Tucker

  • Publication Details

    Book, Duke University Press, 2000

  • Description

    Filled with firsthand accounts of more than a hundred women who performed during this era and complemented by thorough?and eye-opening?archival research, Swing Shift not only offers a history of this significant aspect of American society and culture but also examines how and why whole bands of dedicated and talented women musicians were dropped from?or never inducted into?our national memory. Comparing the working conditions and public representations of women musicians with figures such as Rosie the Riveter, WACs, USO hostesses, pin-ups, and movie stars, Tucker chronicles the careers of such bands as the International Sweethearts of Rhythm, Phil Spitalny?s Hours of Charm, The Darlings of Rhythm, and the Sharon Rogers All-Girl Band.
