Women built the popular song industry of Tin Pan Alley, yet many of their stories have seldom been told. They blazed the trail for women in music today and set an inspiring example for generations to come. Songs She Wrote celebrates women's contributions to popular music by looking at dozens of well-known songwriters, lyricists, and composers in the first half of the twentieth century like Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, and Dorothy Parker and unearths more unknown women who made major contributions.
