From 1981 to 1984, women-in-jazz historians such as D.Antoinette, Sally Placksin, and Linda Dahl worked to restore women's placement in the history of jazz. They used primary and secondary sources which were previously neglected such as the Black press and interviews. Although they found affirmations of women's prominent involvement in jazz music, they also discovered how women were portrayed throughout the genre. Women of the jazz era were marketed typically, for their physique and visual aesthetic, instead of their musicality.
