Barbara Dickson looks at the rise of the female singer through the twentieth century, from Bobby's Girl through Edith Piaf to Nancy Sinatra's terrifying boots.

She looks back to earlier times when strong women made their impression on their age but were also the victims of a predominantly male tradition, and journeys into the recent era of Madonna, the Spice Girls, Kelis and Pink.
