Summary:
A celebration of the evolution, influence, and power of women in popular music. From Bessie Smith to Taylor Swift, women have played an essential and undeniable role in the evolution of modern music including blues, rock and roll, country, folk, glam rock, punk, and hip hop. In a world once traditionally dominated by male artists, women have a stronger influence on music than ever before, yet remain woefully under-represented and unappreciated in the musical canon. This book is a tribute to the female artists who have always defined and continue to make indelible contributions to popular music.
