- Madonna : a rebel life / by Gabriel, Mary,author.;
Includes bibliographic key to online citations and index."With her arrival on the pop music scene in the early 1980s, Madonna generated nothing short of an explosion-as great as that of Elvis or the Beatles or Michael Jackson-taking the nation by storm with her liberated politics and breathtaking talent. Within two years of her 1983 debut album, a shopping mall in California was nicknamed "The Madonna Mall" because it was overrun with "Material Girls." Later that year, the flagship Macy's store in Manhattan held a Madonna lookalike contest featuring Andy Warhol as a judge, and opened a department called "Madonna-land." Everywhere, both women and men gravitated to the singer and actor as an emblem of a new age, one in which the women's liberation could shed the buttoned-down demeanor and reserved seriousness of the '60s and '70s and continue to make tremendous strides for a new generation. Topping charts again and again with provocative, visionary music and videos, Madonna brought queer and sexually-curious identities into the mainstream, fiercely defending a person's right to love whomever, and the space to be who they wanted. Even after almost 45 years in the spotlight, no stranger to controversy, Madonna stands as one of the staunchest supporters of women's rights and continues to represent a lionized emblem of women's liberation throughout the world"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Madonna, 1958-; Singers; Women singers;
