The story of New Orleans music would not be complete without the women who performed it, composed it, taught it, documented it and carried its traditions forward. On Women’s Equality Day, we celebrate the women whose artistry and leadership have shaped New Orleans music across generations—and the artists continuing that legacy today. Drop the name of a woman in New Orleans music everyone should know. ⬇️ 📷: Black and white photo of Irma Thomas #WomensEqualityDay #WomenInJazz #NewOrleansJazzMuseum #NOLAMusic #JazzHistory
