Sher, Liz
Sage: A Scholarly Journal on Black Women, v4 n1 p59-60 Spr 1987
The International Sweethearts of Rhythm, a popular, long-lived, all-female jazz band of the 1940s, were the first racially integrated women's band in America. Their achievement has been largely neglected by music historians. A brief history of the band is presented, and their significance is discussed. (BJV)
