The music business seems to be full with female artists, but what about their representation, the women behind the scences and the female audience? Is the only way to global success pulling off the glamorous diva or the sexy style icon? And what about Lady Gaga and Madonna, do they really break the rules or do the stay within the limits of a female gender performance? And what about the Riot Grrrls and Beth Ditto, are they stereotyped as freaks or still considered women?

Lots of questions. Possible answers can be found in this exciting exhibition ‘ShePOP – Women. Power.Music’ at the rock’n’popmuseum in Gronau/Germany.
