Description
From Bessie Smith to The Supremes, Joan Baez, Madonna, Selena, Beyoncé, Amy Winehouse, Dolly Parton, Sleater-Kinney, Taylor Swift, and scores more, women have played essential role in blues, rock, country, folk, glam rock, punk, and hip hop. In a world traditionally dominated by male artists, women have a stronger influence on music than ever. Yet they remain woefully under-represented in the musical canon compared to their male colleagues. Women Who Rock is a tribute to the female artists who have always defined and continue to make indelible contributions to popular music. It's a book about women who have kicked down doors and planted flags, not just for music, but for feminism, fashion, social justice, and human rights. Writer and professor of journalism Evelyn McDonnell leads a team of women writers including Ann Powers, Peaches, Daphne Brooks, Salamishah Tillett, Alice Bag, Allison Wolfe, Gayle Wald, Jessica Care Moore, Vivien Goldman, Adele Bertei, and Holly George-Warren, in an all-out celebration of more than 100 of the greatest female musicians. --,Adapted from dust jacket.
