"A must for rock and roll and women's studies enthusiasts.-- Library Journal
Celebrate the women who rock, with this fully illustrated tribute to 50 iconic female musicians and bands.
Award-winning radio personality Meredith Ochs takes an insightful look at 50 rock icons who indelibly shook up the music scene, whether solo or in a band. Profiling women from the 1950s to today, and from multiple genres, Ochs tells the dramatic stories behind their journeys to success, their music, and their enduring impact. More than 100 photographs make this a rich volume, and the idols include Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks, Heart, Chrissie Hynde, Patti Smith, Joan Jett and the Runaways, the Go-Go's, Karen O, Sleater-Kinney, Grace Potter, and more.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
From chanteuses to blues belters and guitar slingers, Ochs provides fifty female artists and groups. She shows how they not only illustrate the width and breadth of rock music-- they define it. Presented chronologically from the birth of rock today, these women rockers shook up the music scene. Their stories are inspirational-- and their art is timeless. -- adapted from back cover and introduction
