Society today places such high standards on girls and what is expected. Janis Joplin just wanted attention after all those years of being ignored. Her ballsy chick impersonation earned her a lot of attention, even if it was negative. Before she became addicted to drugs and alcohol Janis could have been viewed as a role model for girls in the fifties to defy the standards of society. I believe Janis Joplin stood for feminism which could be directly related to today’s society and how feminism is perceived in the minds of women today. Janis was ambitious which helped her rise above the ignorance of the people in Port Arthur. When she got a taste of the real world and the music business it all became too much for her. Everything Janis had set out to achieve was now being set back. Janis Joplin died at the young age of 27, but during her life she was able to overcome adversity and make something of herself whether you think in a negative or positive way. In the end the “pig” from Port Arthur became rock’s first female
