Notes:

Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Mediating the feminist superstar: Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift in Netflix documentaries -- Narratives about gender and feminism in a music industry #MeToo petition -- Gender equality, diversity, and algorithmic culture on music streaming services -- Keychange: Gender equality work in the popular music industries -- Conclusion."What does it mean, in a polarized political climate, that feminism was popular in mainstream popular music of the 2010s? Engaging with feminist theory and previous research about gender and music, this book investigates the meaning of current trends relating to gender, feminism and woman-identified artists in mediated popular music. The examples discussed throughout the book include Netflix documentaries by Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift, the Swedish music industry #MeToo petition #närmusikentystnar, music streaming services' gender equality work and the project Keychange striving to bring underrepresented genders to the stage. The volume discusses the media specificity of the different examples, introduces and explains feminist theories and concepts and analyzes the position of women, gender politics and feminisms in popular music." - From Publisher.
