This woman's work : essays on music / by Gleeson, Sinéad,editor.; Gordon, Kim,editor.;
"THIS WOMAN'S WORK is a collection of essays by 18 female writers, writing about exclusively female experiences in music, co-edited by Sonic Youth co-founder Kim Gordon and Irish author Sinead Gleeson. This book celebrates the instrument makers, the experimentalists, the harmonizers, the avant-garde, the genre-breakers, the pop queens, and all those on the margins who expose the lack of intersectionality in this industry. For a long time, the narrative of music has been male-centered and hyper-masculine. The purpose of the women within it was to orbit these men: swooning to Elvis, screaming en-masse at Beatles gigs, or trying to get backstage to sleep with the rock bad boys. When women gained visibility in the music of the 1960s, they were-again-allocated specific tropes: backing singer, lone woman in the band, Motown trios singing innocuous love songs. In the 1970s, at the time Kate Bush became the first woman (at just 17) to have a number one with song she'd written herself, the women of punk began to make their voices heard. But many didn't like these acts of assertion; the femaleness, the raging against gender stereotypes, the Amazonian loudness of it all. Joan Jett recalls being knocked over on stage by flying bottles; The Slits were chased and threatened after gigs and their singer Ari Up was stabbed twice. Even as late as the 1980s, as hip hop gained prominence, it made room for only a handful of women, while trading in misogynist rhymes, where women could only be hoes, bitches or gold diggers. How were young female rappers of color to participate when they didn't see themselves represented in that culture? Trapped within an entertainment industry relentlessly catering to men, these rappers, and many other budding female musicians across a variety of genres in modern music, were often othered and exoticized-until the moment when they dared to own it. To speak up. To shout louder. Digging into the depths of an industry hard-coded for sexism, THIS WOMAN'S WORK is an ode to the thousands of women in music whose stories we don't know. Pioneers whose achievements are undervalued, often by virtue of their gender, or because someone else (many times, a man) took credit for it. Featuring brand new essays from notable feminist writers like Ottessa Moshfegh, Juliana Huxtable, Maggie Nelson, Rachel Kushner, Leslie Jamison, and more, THIS WOMAN'S WORK reminds us to pay our respects to the women who shattered ceilings and kicked in doors, vastly expanding the spectrum of women's influence in the world of modern music"--

Nobody ever asked me about the girls : women, music, and fame / by Robinson, Lisa(Music journalist),author.;
"From the effects of fame on family and vice versa to motherhood and drugs, sex, and romance, Lisa Robinson has discussed every taboo topic with nearly every significant living female artist to pass through the pages of Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair. Here, her interviews with and observations of fabulous female pop and rock stars, from Tina Turner and Alanis Morrissette to Rihanna, show how these powerhouse women, all with vastly different life experiences, fell in love with music, seized their ambitions, and changed pop culture. Grouped by topic, ranging from hair and makeup to sexual and emotional abuse, Robinson's interviews reveal each individual artist's sense of humor, private hopes, and personal devastations-along with the grit and fire that brought each woman to the stage in the first place and empowered her to leave her mark on the world"--

Limelight : Rush in the '80s / by Popoff, Martin,1963-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Part two of the definitive biography of the rock 'n' roll kings of the North In the follow-up to Anthem: Rush in the '70s, Martin Popoff brings together canon analysis, cultural context, and extensive firsthand interviews to celebrate Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart at the peak of their persuasive power. Rush was one of the most celebrated hard rock acts of the '80s, and the second book of Popoff's staggeringly comprehensive three-part series takes readers from Permanent Waves to Presto, while bringing new insight to Moving Pictures, their crowning glory. Limelight: Rush in the '80s is a celebration of fame, of the pushback against that fame, of fortunes made--and spent ... In the latter half of the decade, as Rush adopts keyboard technology and gets pert and poppy, there's an uproar amongst diehards, but the band finds a whole new crop of listeners. Limelight charts a dizzying period in the band's career, built of explosive excitement but also exhaustion, a state that would lead, as the '90s dawned, to the band questioning everything they previously believed, and each member eying the oncoming decade with trepidation and suspicion."--
