Feminism

Over time, views of women in the media have dramatically changed as in this day and age we see respected female musicians get the gratitude they deserve, however going back 50 years and women were often indirectly scrutinised by male publishers of music magazines, whereas musicians like Adele are commended on their vocal ability and lyrical genius, 50 years ago in comparative to Adele, Marianne Faithful was often compared to cute animals and not given any graduation as a musician in her own right. This is just one of many examples of how feminism has altered the view society has on women and how women have used this to their advantage to gain their rightful honour musically.
