From Bessie Smith and The Supremes to Joan Baez, Madonna, Beyonce,
Amy Winehouse, Dolly Parton, Sleater-Kinney, Taylor Swift, and
scores more, women have played an essential and undeniable role in
the evolution of popular music including blues, rock and roll,
country, folk, glam rock, punk, and hip hop. Today, in a world
traditionally dominated by male artists, women have a stronger
influence on popular music than ever before. Yet, not since the
late nineteen-nineties has there been a major work that
acknowledges and pays tribute to the female artists who have
contributed to, defined, and continue to make inroads in music. In
WOMEN WHO ROCK, writer and professor of journalism and new media
Evelyn McDonnell leads a team of women rock writers and pundits in
an all-out celebration of 106 of the greatest female musicians.
Organized chronologically, the book profiles each artist and places
her in the context of both her genre and the musical world at
large. Sidebars throughout recall key moments that shaped both the
trajectory of music and how those moments influenced or were
influenced by women artists. With full-color illustrated portraits
by women artists, Women Who Rock will be THE long-awaited gift book
for every musicfan, feminist, and female rocker, young and old.
