Bessie Smith, a.k.a Empress of the Blues (April 15th, 1894-Sept 26, 1937)

Badassness: Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Bessie had lost both parents by age 9. Bessie started performing on the streets then, and when she was a teen joined a traveling vaudeville show, becoming a protégé of Ma Rainey, (the Mother of the Blues). Bessie’s career took off and she eventually signed with Columbia records, becoming the highest paid Black entertainer in her day.

One of her most badass moments was when a wealthy white patron tried to pull her close for a kiss and Bessie shouted, “get the f**k away from me, I never heard of such sh*t!” Bessie died in a car crash at 43, but in her short life had a huge impact - Billie Holiday (our first Badass Bisexual!) credits Bessie as a major influence. Recently Queen Latifah played Bessie in a biopic.

Bisexuality: The early blues scene seemed a fairly safe space for Black women to be openly bi/lesbian. Blues singers like Bessie would drop hints or flat-out sing openly about their relationships, like in these lyrics from one of Bessie’s songs: “When you see two women walking hand in hand, just look ‘em over and try to understand: They’ll go to those parties—have the lights down low—only those parties where women can go.”

Bessie’s legal husband, Jack Gee, never could adjust to the show biz lifestyle or the fact that Bessie was bisexual. Supposedly the relationship ended because Bessie shot at her fleeing husband after hearing he’d slept with a chorus singer (who she beat up). Bessie later had a common-law marriage with her friend Richard Morgan. She was rumored to have had relationships with many women, including “male impersonator” Gladys Fergusson, but had a long, tumultuous affair with chorus singer Lillian Simpson. During a fight with Lillian, Bessie is famously quoted as saying, “I got twelve women on this show, and I can have one every night if I want it.”
