Through candid personal interviews with Lucille Ball; Carol Burnett; and other visionary performers; Queens of Comedy explores how comediennes have redefined the roles of women in not only the entertainment business; but society as a whole. Detailing both their public and private lives - as well as their many and varied performances - Queen of Comedy examines the impact these women have had on the predominantly male-oriented world of comedy. Performers like Carol Burnett; Joan Rivers; and their more recent counterparts; comediennes Brett Butler and Roseanne; have helped to sift womens roles in comedy from object to subject. This book maps out this shift; providing an often brutally honest picture of womens lives in both the spotlight of comedy and this modern world.
