I need to write a higher level essay about the way in which women are represented in To Pimp a Butterfly, making reference to the song lyrics, the album cover and the singers. It has to show that there’s very little room for black women in the album, giving examples with the Point, Evidence, and Explanation (P.E.E) style. It needs to talk about at least one of the following concepts:

– Identity
– Culture
– Communication
– Transformation
– Perspective
– Representation

It needs to be between 12-15 paragraphs (1200-1500 words)

Some songs and characters that may be helpful to answer the question are:

– For free
– King kunta -(Analyze the video)
– Institutionalized (a woman sings but not something relevant)
– These walls
– Lucifer represented as Lucy (a female figure) in For Sale
– Complexion
– Album cover
