I am a student studying a music course conducting a piece of work relating to gender representations in heavy metal. I am particularly wanting responses and views regarding the question above. Also i would hugely appreciate it if people could comment on questions as such: -What gender do you find more dominant within the genre? -Do you think heavy metal is typically a masculine genre? -How do you think women are perceived within heavy metal? -Do you think there is a specific image involved in the genre? Any comments would be a great help to use in my research.(i will not use peoples identities in work) I would also appreciate it if front women of heavy metal bands or women heavy metal band members could tell me their perceptions on heavy metal and feeling towards my question. Thanks Sophie
