They're Playing Our Songs offers a unique and fascinating vehicle
for women's voices to be heard on the subject of women's music and
how it affects their lives. Author Ann M. Savage explores 15
women's engagements with what might be called feminist rock music,
including that of such noted artists as Ani DiFranco, Tori Amos,
the Indigo Girls, and Melissa Etheridge. The women interviewed here
tell deeply personal stories of how songs by these musicians have
helped them survive and cope with turbulent life experiences such
as difficult work environments, depression, and abusive
relationships. As we can see, then, music can be not only
pleasurable but also fiercely expressive, in ways that allow its
listeners some vicarious catharsis. These accounts of personal
transformation make for a book that is at once compelling and
dynamically political, revealing the myriad ways in which art,
polemics, and life intertwine to create a side of womanhood that
few ever get to see.
