In the majority of mainstream writing and discussions on music,
women appear purely in relation to men as muses, groupies or
fangirls, with our own experiences, ideas and arguments dismissed
or ignored. But this hasn't stopped generations of women from
loving, being moved by and critically appreciating music, even -
and sometimes especially - when we feel we shouldn't. Under My
Thumb: Songs that Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them is a study
of misogyny in music through the eyes of women. It brings together
stories from journalists, critics, musicians and fans about artists
or songs we love (or used to love) despite their questionable or
troubling gender politics, and looks at how these issues interact
with race, class and sexuality. As much celebration as critique,
this collection explores the joys, tensions, contradictions and
complexities of women loving music - however that music may feel
about them. Featuring: murder ballads, country, metal, hip hop,
emo, indie, Phil Spector, David Bowie, Guns N' Roses, 2Pac, the
Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, AC/DC, Elvis Costello, Jarvis Cocker,
Kanye West, Swans, Eminem, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Combichrist and
many more.
