I'm doing my dissertation for my final year of university, trying to discover if there really are double standards in the music industry? Whether female artists are criticized more about their image than male artists. Do you know any websites or anything that might help me?

I think that the best place might be Rockrgrl Magazine -- they have several articles that have covered this topic. Also Venus magazine and the short lived effort by Joan Osborne called "Heroine."

Good luck,
