Her story is not only one of a person who blazed new trails in electronic music for decades but is also the story of a person who intersected in many ways with American popular culture, medicine, and social trends during the second half of the 20th century and well into the 21st. There is much to tell about her life and about the ways in which her life reflects many dimensions of American culture. Carlos's identity as a transgender woman has shaped many aspects of her life, her career, how she relates to the public, and how the public has received her and her music. Cultural factors surrounding the treatment of transgender people affected many of the decisions that Carlos has made over the decades. Additionally, cultural reception and perception of transgender people has colored how journalists, scholars, and fans have written about Carlos and her music for decades. -- $c Book jacket. 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 600 10 $a Carlos, Wendy. 650 0 $a Composers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women composers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Electronic composition. 650 0 $a Transgender musicians $z United States $v Biography. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780190053499 830 0 $a Oxford cultural biographies 941 $a 2 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210723014931.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210105035740.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=933F44BC1DA411EBAAA0CA112BECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
