Gender identity and the electric guitar in
heavy metal music.

Abstract
In this chapter I will attempt to
outline the gendered characteristics of heavy metal and the electric
guitar and address the question: has society’s impression of heavy metal
as a primarily masculine pursuit been so imbedded in Western culture
that we will never see a female heavy metal band achieve the same level
of success as a male heavy metal band?
