| Summary |
"By examining the relationship between radio audiences, technologies and programming, this book reveals and explains the inequalities experienced by women in the industry. The contributors examine the relationship between women and music and discuss "housewife radio," DJ chatter, the feminist news agenda and radio as a subversive tool for empowering women."--Jacket |
