Gillian G. Gaar's critically acclaimed, breakthrough book, the
first full history of women in rock and pop ever written, became an
instant classic upon its publication in 1992. Arranged
chronologically and told with impassioned detail, She's A Rebel
charts a half century of women performers from the early R and B
singers of the 1950s, to the girl groups, Motown acts, folksingers,
and rock chicks of the 1960s, to the punk rebels and pop divas of
the 1970s, to the brash all-girl bands, rappers, and riot grrls of
the 1980s and 1990s. This expanded ten-year anniversary edition
features over 75 photos and includes three all-new chapters on all
the major artists of the last decade as well as an insider's look
at the music industry and the emerging power of women rock stars.
With new preface by Yoko Ono and dozens of new profiles and
interviews with performerssuch as Courtney Love, L7, Bikini Kill,
the Breeders, Sarah McLachlan, Ani di Franco, Sheryl Crow, Sleater
Kinney, Alanis Morrisette, Lucinda Williams, Mariah Carey,
Destiny's Child, Lauryn Hill, Christina Aguilera, Nelly Furtado,
Bjork, and many others this book captures the amazing explosion of
women's voices and talent in the music world. "[She's A Rebel] is
as thoroughly entertaining as it is researched ...It's exhaustive
and exhilarating. "Billboard"
