In Women Singer-Songwriters in Rock: A Populist Rebellion in the
1990s, Ronald D. Lankford Jr. argues that women singer-songwriters
formed a substantial movement within popular music during the
1990s, making a significant social and aesthetic contribution that
pushed feminism into mainstream American culture. Lankford examines
in depth the work of several artists including Alanis Morissette,
PJ Harvey, Liz Phair, Courtney Love, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan,
and Sheryl Crow offering thorough descriptions and analyses of
their music, lyrics, and album art. By looking at both the broader
movement and individual performers, this book provides a
comprehensive and accessible overview of the movement and its
message. Lankford introduces the singer-songwriter movement and the
artists and genres that paved the way for these 1990s rockers,
establishing the arch of the popular movement of women in rock as
it mirrored the rise of third wave feminism and sketching the
cultural and political landscape that served as a backdrop to the
women's singer-songwriter movement during the 1990s. Drawing from
resources in books, journals, and zines, Lankford focuses on the
exploration of women's issues within the music through analyses of
its lyrics and album art and examines how the often hard-edged
feminist content was able to filter into mainstream popular
culture. To help illustrate this, the book includes a select
discography of albums and singles, including their placement and
number of weeks spent on various charts. A complete bibliography
and index round out this important study, which is a must for fans
and scholars of music, popular culture, and women's studies.
