Summary: Beautifully crafted look at the women of the blues era.
Review: Blueswomen was a joy to read. Ms. Bourgeois does an excellent job bringing to lifethe woefully overlooked women of the blues era. Her profiles are insightful and her prose captures the rich flavor of the time. This book is a must for anyone who loves music or is simply interested in the fascinating lives and lyrics of these women.
