A Women's History of the Beatles is the first book to offer a
detailed presentation of the band's social and cultural impact as
understood through the experiences and lives of women. Drawing on a
mix of interviews, archival research, textual analysis, and
autoethnography, this scholarly work depicts how the Beatles have
profoundly shaped and enriched the lives of women, while also
reexamining key, influential female figures within the group's
history. Organized topically based on key themes important to the
Beatles story, each chapter uncovers the varied and multifaceted
relationships women have had with the band, whether face-to-face
and intimately or parasocially through mediated, popular culture.
Set within a socio-historical context that charts changing gender
norms since the early 1960s, these narratives consider how the
Beatles have affected women's lives across three generations.
Providing a fresh perspective of a well-known tale, this is a
cultural history that moves far beyond the screams of Beatlemania
to offer a more comprehensive understanding of what the now iconic
band has meant to women over the course of six decades.
