This question focuses on the article in our text by Susan Douglas "Why the Shirelles Mattered: Girl Groups on the Cusp of a Feminist Awakening." Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIP6FSYxOL to watch the Shirelles sing "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" (with scenes of Elvis and his bride, Linda Bird Johnson and her father, President Johnson, at her wedding, Jackie Kennedy after JFK's assassination, Jackie & Jack and their children, and various other shots of the 1960s). Then, answer these questions: (if you have any problems with the link, just go to You Tube and enter "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" and/or the Shirelles in the search function and you'll get to a version of the song. There's a nice version by Amy Winehouse there too - she stole her heavy eye makeup and beehive hairdo from the Ronettes, another girl group of the 1960s): if you can't find the one indicated, just watch one of those available. Please answer the 3 Questions below: a) The Shirelles made "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" in 1960. What was the status of female sexuality at the time, was it changing, and if so, why? b) The song by the Shirelles is written from a woman's perspective, and it was "new" per Susan Douglas. What was new about girl groups - what did they say about prevailing gender roles, the contradicting messages girls got about female sexuality, and how girl groups and their music helped teenage girls deal with their "inevitable domestication?" c) How were girl groups a "pop culture harbinger"of things to come for women?
