From Punk to Riot Grrl, Soul to Indie, this is a ground-breaking new study of women in popular music-making. The author, a sociologist and musician, interviewed over 100 women in British bands from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s. Amongst others, interviewees include Skin from Skunk Anansie, Debbie Smith from Echobelly, Candida Doyle from Pulp, Gail Greenwood from Belly and L7, Natasha Atlas from Transglobal Underground, and Vie Subversa from Poison Girls.

Although female vocalists have always been common, women playing instruments in bands are still relatively rare. Frock Rock explores the social factors that keep women from playing and those routes that have enabled women's involvement. The book then examines the everyday worlds of women's music-making from bands just starting up to the professional stage: songwriting, rehearsing, the first gig, getting a manager, record companies, recording, and touring.
