Although "Exile in Guyville" was celebrated as one of the year's
top records by "Spin" and the "New York Times," it was also, to
some, an abomination: a mockery of the Rolling Stones' most revered
record and a rare glimpse into the psyche of a shrewd, independent,
strong young woman. For these crimes, Liz Phair was run out of her
hometown of Chicago, enduring a flame war perpetrated by writers
who accused her of being boring, inauthentic, and even a poor
musician. With "Exile in Guyville," Phair spoke for all the girls
who loved the world of indie rock but felt deeply unwelcome there.
Like all great works of art, "Exile" was a harbinger of the shape
of things to come: Phair may have undermined the male ego, but she
also unleashed a new female one. For the sake of all the female
artists who have benefited from her work--from Sleater-Kinney to
Lana Del Rey and back again--it's high time we go back to Guyville.
