Why, despite the number of high profile female rock musicians, does
rock continue to be understood as masculine? Why is rock generally
assumed to be created and performed by men? Marion Leonard explores
different representations of masculinity offered by, and performed
through, rock music, and examines how female rock performers
negotiate this gendering of rock as masculine. A major concern of
the book is not specifically with men or with women performing
rock, but with how notions of gender affect the everyday
experiences of all rock musicians within the context of the music
industry. Leonard addresses core issues relating to gender, rock
and the music industry through a case study of 'female-centred'
bands from the UK and US performing so called 'indie rock' from the
1990s to the present day. Using original interview material with
both amateur and internationally renowned musicians, the book
further addresses the fact that the voices of musicians have often
been absent from music industry studies. Leonard's central aim is
to progress from feminist scholarship that has documented and
explored the experience of female musicians, to presenting an
analytic discussion of gender and the music industry. In this way,
the book engages directly with a number of under-researched areas:
the impact of gender on the everyday life of performing musicians;
gendered attitudes in music journalism, promotion and production;
the responses and strategies developed by female performers; the
feminist network riot grrrl and the succession of international
festivals it inspired under the name of Ladyfest.
