This book is a timely examination of the tension between being a
rock music fan and being a woman. From the media representation of
women rock fans as groupies to the widely held belief that hard
rock and metal is masculine music, being a music fan is an
experience shaped by gender. Through a lively discussion of the
idealised imaginary community created in the media and interviews
with women fans in the UK, Rosemary Lucy Hill grapples with the
controversial topics of groupies, sexism and male dominance in
metal. She challenges the claim that the genre is inherently
masculine, arguing that musical pleasure is much more sophisticated
than simplistic enjoyments of aggression, violence and virtuosity.
Listening to women's experiences, she maintains, enables new
thinking about hard rock and metal music, and about what it is like
to be a women fan in a sexist environment.
