The International Sweethearts of Rhythm was the first integrated all-women's band in the United States. During the 1940s the band featured some of the best female musicians of the day.

They have been labeled "the most prominent and probably best female aggregation of the Big Band era". During feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s in America, the International Sweethearts of Rhythm became popular with feminist writers and musicologists who made it their goal to

During feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s in America, the International Sweethearts of Rhythm became popular with feminist writers and musicologists who made it their goal to change the discourse on the history of jazz to include both men and women musicians. Flutist Antoinette Handy was one scholar who documented the story of these female musicians of color. (en)
  • International Sweethearts of Rhythm est un big band féminin formé aux États-Unis en 1937. C'est la première formation musicale américaine à accueillir des musiciennes sans distinction de couleur de peau. Les musiciennes sont recrutées parmi les pensionnaires d'un établissement scolaire du Mississippi pour enfants défavorisés. L'orchestre se professionnalise durant les années 1940. Apprécié du public noir américain, il parcourt le circuit des clubs et a l'occasion d'enregistrer quelques titres pour Guild Records et RCA Victor. En 1945, il est envoyé en Europe par l'United Service Organizations (USO) pour soutenir le moral des troupes. Les Sweethearts of Rhythm se séparent à la fin des années 1940 et sont redécouvertes dans les années 1970 par des universitaires travaillant sur le thème de la condition féminine. (fr)
