Opis

This book is a history of women, radio, and the gendered constructions of voice and sound in Argentina and Uruguay.

Recenzje

'Ehrick's print archive is impressive, and it allows her to reconstruct not just a remarkably detailed history of female broadcasters and scriptwriters, but also a complex portrait of radio's transnational politics … Ehrick's book is not only an important contribution to feminist history in Latin American and radio studies more generally, but it points to the urgent need for further studies of the transnational politics of radio.' Tom McEnaney, Sound Studies
