The Female Touch

When Madonna made her breakthrough on the music scene no one could have predicted the degree or rather the very absence of such limiting extents potentially precluding her from reaching the heights over which she now resolutely presides.

Indeed, Madonna can legitimately claim to be the first woman who spectacularly ushered in a radical overhaul erasing the myth, perhaps once and for all that the entertainment scene is the exclusive domain of male chauvinism.

There might be those who claim that the music scene, irrespective of whichever genre it is, never manifested a latent and much less a blatant gender bias. Without deviating into the realm of unnecessary controversy, it is reasonable to say that notwithstanding the never-ending rhetoric of equality, female artists were indeed, till quite recent hindered by comparative disadvantages with their lesser halves.
