Resumen
At the beginning of this work lies a personal realisation that women have sung about love in very similar ways throughout the 20th and the 21st centuries, and a personal interest for black female blues and jazz singers. It is from the combination of those two that this work came to be. Such personal interest was reinforced by the fairly considerable amount of biopics and biographies about those women that have multiplied in the last years. Works like The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2020) or Bessie (2015) show the strength and courage of singers like Billie Holiday or Bessie Smith, but also the brutality that those women suffered within their romantic relationships and within a racist context. Those pieces also claim that those women and their legacy are relevant.
