  • Summary

    Romina Dezillio considers female tango singers’ artistic and social contributions to the professionalization of women within the national and international tango scene. Her study of the consolidation process of the tango cancionista (female tango singer) during the 1930s in Argentina reveals gender-based relationships between the tango canción and Argentine society as she highlights the personal styles and careers of three star cancionistas: Rosita Quiroga (1896–1984), Azucena Maizani (1902–1970), and Libertad Lamarque (1908–2000).
