Women in Country Music
Country music, for the most part, was mainly dominated by male artist for the first thirty years. Country music was viewed as being more masculine and to much of a “manly” western theme for women to sing. In 1935 though, a woman from Arkansas changed those views. A singer and fiddler named Patsy Montana broke into the country music scene with a song named, “I Want to be a Cowboys Sweetheart”. This record became the first female million record sale. Her yoedling and western themes became well know across the country music world. Although Patsy Montana never became a huge star as the such of many male artist at the time, she became a role model for the women of country music that was to come.
