Women Who Rock : Bessie to Beyonce. Girl Groups to Riot Grrrl
Women Who Rock - Book - by Evelyn McDonnell
(2018)
From Bessie Smith and The Supremes to Joan Baez, Madonna, Beyonce, Amy
Winehouse, Dolly Parton, Sleater-Kinney, Taylor Swift, and scores more,
women have played an essential and undeniable role in the evolution of
popular music including blues, rock and roll, country, folk, glam rock,
punk, and hip hop. Today, in a world traditionally dominated by male
artists, women have a stronger influence on popular music than ever
before. Yet, not since the late nineteen-nineties has there been a major
work that acknowledges and pays tribute to the female artists who have
contributed to, defined, and continue to make inroads in music.
In WOMEN WHO ROCK, writer and professor of journalism and new media
Evelyn McDonnell leads a team of women rock writers and pundits in an
all-out celebration of 106 of the greatest female musicians. Organized
chronologically, the book profiles each artist and places her in the
context of both her genre and the musical world at large. Sidebars
throughout recall key moments that shaped both the trajectory of music
and how those moments influenced or were influenced by women artists.
With full-color illustrated portraits by women artists, Women Who Rock
will be THE long-awaited gift book for every musicfan, feminist, and
female rocker, young and old.
