Title	Pitching Patriarchy
Abstract	This thesis will provide a general background of how women musicians, both Caucasian and African-American, were subject to idealized standards of beauty and gender prejudice within their profession as musicians. Monographs by Fauser, Sullivan, Jones, Lang, and Tucker will be analyzed to provide readers with a complete picture of the current state of historiography concerning music of the World War II era and its importance to American culture. Real life examples of how women were forced into patriarchal norms within their work environments will add credence to the concept that song narrative story lines served an integral purpose in perpetuating patriarchal gendered standards during World War II. Song storylines will then be analyzed to demonstrate that it was a vital medium by which patriarchal standards of gender were demonstrated to men and women who were exposed to music regardless of race. However, tropes for African-American women differed from those of their white counterparts. This thesis will address their unique challenges performed by a sample of African-American women artists.
