This week, Stauney introduces Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Long ignored by the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame and most of contemporary rock culture, Tharpe was one of the fundamental starts to the entire Rock &amp; Roll music movement and one of the main influences for its lasting legacy. We discuss her beginnings as a childhood guitar and musical prodigy in her pentecostal gospel music group, her touring across the country, her start in the secular music scene, numerous relationships and intrigue surrounding them, and the lasting legacy she so richly deserves.Episodes to check out after this one: <a href="https://morethanamuse.simplecast.com/episodes/martha-wash-the-queen-of-clubland">Martha Wash</a>, <a href="https://morethanamuse.simplecast.com/episodes/hilma-af-klint-the-first-abstract-painter">Hilma Af Klint</a>, <a href="https://morethanamuse.simplecast.com/episodes/karen-carpenter">Karen Carpenter</a>Want to check out some of our favorite books?

The Creation & Design of Dasie's Drama

Welcome to MORE THAN A MUSE, a weekly podcast where we explore the lives of women artists, musicians, writers, sculptors, and more. Join Stauney (a graphic designer) and Sadie (a singer-songwriter) EVERY MONDAY as we reframe art history and pop culture with feminism, empowering women to be educated, unapologetically angry, and champion those whom history has forgotten. Through in-depth historical discussions and pop culture chats, we spotlight unsung heroines, all while challenging the status quo. It's time to remember every woman artist as 'More Than A Muse'.
