520 |a This book provides a lens on the rigid packaging process that transforms female artists of various genres into female pop stars. Stars--and the industry power brokers who make their fortunes--have learned to prioritize sexual attractiveness over talent as they fight a crowded field for movie deals, magazine covers, and fashion lines, let alone record deals. This focus on the female pop star's body as her core asset has resigned many women to being "short term brands," positioned to earn as much money as possible before burning out or aging ungracefully. This book, which includes interview data from music industry insiders, explores the sociological forces that drive women into these tired representations, and the ramifications for the greater social world. -- Provided by publisher.
