Women's Achievements in the Music Industry

This movement is about giving female artists the chance to excel  just as well as men in the music industry and receive the same amount of recognition and respect. Sexism in the music industry has been around as long as the music industry itself, and female artists everyday are enduring an uphill battle to equality and have been for years. Throughout history, women in music have made prominent strides towards equal opportunities for success, and are continuing to do so in Hollywood today. This movement taking place on a national level and is an on-going movement because sexism in the music industry has always been present and female artists have always been underrepresented. The social factors that helped give rise to this movement is the unfair treatment of women in the music industry who have had enough, and are speaking out about their experiences. Female artists over the decades have made giant leaps and celebrated major successes throughout their careers midst the gender representation and sexism that has gone on behind closed doors. The women in the music industry today, and the women who paved the way for female artists on the rise today are trendsetters who have made music history, knocking down gender barriers in the process.
