...always been classier, and a lot more dignified, to be a woman than a female. Thanks to 30 years of feminist striving, the category "woman" has expanded to include anchorpersons, soccer moms, astronauts, fire fighters, even the occasional Senator or Secretary of State. But "female" still tends to connote the oozing, bleeding, swelling, hot-flashing, swamp-creature side of the species, its tiny brain marinating in the primal hormonal broth.

On Evita (out now), Madonna finds herself a classier singing partner: her film co-star Antonio Banderas. His vocals have a gutsy charisma; as for Madonna, she sounds earnest if a bit thin. Still, the first single, You Must Love Me, is a winner, and the real test of Madonna's singing will be how it comes across...
