Review:
Jennifer Fleegers Mismatched Women:The Sirens Song through the Machine is a must-read for anyone interested in musical women, performance studies, and media culture. (Marcia J. Citron, Oxford University Press Journals: Music and Letters)
an exciting book ... a must-read for anyone interested in musical women, performance studies, and media culture ... its critical connections between opera and pop music, and women and media, are original and important, and appear together for the first time. (Marcia J. Citron, Music and Letters)
Mismatched Women sings with intelligence, originality, and depth. (Claudia Gorbman, co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aesthetics)
Fleeger complicates previous theories of the female voice, rethinking the 'match' between sound and body, technology and voice. Linking seemingly disparate singers and modes of performance - ranging from opera to animated film to radio and reality TV - Fleeger shows the way in which mismatched women challenge gender stereotypes and mechanisms of pity associated with having, or being, the wrong body. (Pamela Wojcik, Director of Gender Studies and Professor of Film at the University of Notre Dame)

Book Description Hardback. Condition: New. New copy - Usually dispatched within 4 working days. This book tells the history of sound machines through singers whose bodies and voices do not match. Jennifer Fleeger explores this phenomenon, moving from the fictional Trilby to the real-life Youtube star Susan Boyle, and demonstrating along the way that singers with voices that do not match their bodies are essential to the success of technologies for preserving and sharing music.
