"Jennifer Fleeger's Mismatched Women is a must-read for anyone interested in musical women, performance studies, and media culture." --Marcia J. Citron, Rice University, Music and Letters

"Mismatched Women sings with intelligence, originality, and depth." --Claudia Gorbman, co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aesthetics

"Fleeger complicates previous theories of the female voice, rethinking the 'match' between sound and body, technology and voice. Linking seemingly disparate singers and modes of performance - ranging from opera to animated film to radio and reality TV - Fleeger shows the way in which mismatched women challenge gender stereotypes and mechanisms of pity associated with having, or being, the wrong body." --Pamela Wojcik, Director of Gender Studies and Professor of Film at the University of Notre Dame

"[T]he blend of recorded music history with the analysis and interpretation that Fleeger offers marks her book as unique...Fleeger's rigorous academic analysis represents a much-needed addition to the music and performance analysis in scholarly literature...I recommend this book for any academic music or media library as well as scholars who wish to study women and music, women and mass media, women and popular culture, or sound recording history."--Association for Recorded Sound Collections Journal
