The first book of its kind, Gender & Rock introduces readers to
how gender operates in multiple sites within rock culture,
including its music, lyrics, imagery, performances, instruments,
and business practices. Additionally, it explores how rock culture,
despite a history of regressive gender politics, has provided a
place for musicians and consumers to experiment with alternate
identities and ways of being. Drawing on feminist and queer
scholarship in popular music studies, musicology, cultural studies,
sociology, performance studies, literary analysis, and media
studies, Gender & Rock provides readers with a survey of the
topics, theories, and methods necessary for understanding and
conducting analyses of gender in rock culture. Via an
intersectional approach, the book examines how the gendering of
particular roles, practices, technologies, and institutions within
rock culture is related to discourses of race, sexuality, age, and
class.
