Writer Marisa Meltzer, author of the new book ‘Girl Power: The Nineties Revolution in Music‘, has curated a miniseries of contemporary women’s music for us this week. After the jump, Marisa’s fifth and final feature: the most iconic pop divas.
I love pop songs partly because they’re so ubiquitous that you don’t have to seek them out. You can hate pop music and still be able to sing along. Not to be too cheesy, but I think there’s something really touching and unifying about that. So let’s end on that note. Oh, and these picks are highly informed by my personal tastes and the era I grew up in, so please comment with your favorites.
