Routledge Women in the Studio - Music Production Book

Explore the gender dynamics of the music industry with Women in the Studio: Creativity, Control and Gender in Popular Music Sound Production. Published by Routledge as part of the Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series, this book addresses the male-dominated landscape of popular music production. Author Paula Wolfe provides a unique perspective by combining her experience as a working artist-producer with academic scholarship. Through first-hand observation and interviews, the text examines how gendered notions of creativity affect the industry. Wolfe investigates the lack of female representation in studio environments and how patriarchal frameworks shape the music establishment. This research offers a look at how women's work in the creation and control of sound acts as a challenge to existing industry structures. It is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in the intersection of gender and music technology.
