"Cinderella's Big Score" celebrates the contributions of punk's
oft-overlooked female artists, explores the latent--and not so
latent--sexism of indie rock (so often thought of as the hallowed
ground of progressive movements), and tells the story of how these
women created spaces for themselves in a sometimes limited or
exclusionary environment. The indie music world is littered with
females who have not only withstood the racket of punk's
intolerance, but have twisted our societal notions of femininity in
knots.
Raha focuses on the United States and England in the 70s and 80s,
and illuminates how the seminal women of this time shaped the
female rockers of the 90s and today. Groups profiled range from The
Runaways, The Slits, and The Plasmatics to L7, Sleater-Kinney, and
Le Tigre. The book includes women not often featured in "women in
rock" titles, such as Exene Cervenka of X, Eve Libertine and Joy de
Vivre of Crass, and Poison Ivy Rorschach of the Cramps. Includes
rare interviews and more than forty B&W photos.
