I used to be your sweet mama : ideology, sexuality, and domesticity
Mama's got the blues : rivals, girlfriends, and advisors
Here come my train : traveling themes and women's blues
Blame it on the blues : Bessie Smith, Gertrude "Ma" Rainey, and the politics of blues protest
Preaching the blues : spirituality and self-consciousness
Up in Harlem every Saturday night : blues and the Black aesthetic
When a woman loves a man : social implications of Billie Holiday's love songs
"Strange fruit" : music and social consciousness
Lyrics to songs recorded by Gertrude "Ma" Rainey
Lyrics to songs recorded by Bessie Smith.
