About this Event

Celebrate Women’s History Month 2025 at the book launch of which celebrates women’s contributions to popular music by looking at dozens of well-known figures like Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, and Dorothy Parker as well as unearthing more unknown women who made major contributions. In this talk and his book, Michael Garber explores the style and artistry of female songwriters, lyricists, and composers in the first half of the twentieth century and provides intriguing backstories and analysis of forty hits. Learn about Maria Grever (“What a Difference a Day Makes”) who was the first female Mexican composer to achieve international acclaim and the fascinating story of African American lyricist Lucy Fletcher (“Sugar Blues”), among many others in this book. The talk will be accompanied by song selections from Peter Muir, Lauren Sansaricq and Charlie Judkins (aka Miss Maybell and Her Jazz Age Artistes).
