Biography & True Stories
Description
Women in the history of rock are not few; but few are the ones remembered. However, armies of other female musicians fought with them, though their stories never gained the spotlight. But the moment to tell them has arrived. That’s why Rocket Girls is first of all a request for attention. A reading that encourages us to look beyond labels and consider female music not a genre in itself, but a world as rich and multi-faceted as the male one.
You will meet fifty women who have fought the patriarchy of rock. One song for every artist, from the ’50s to this day.
Nina Simone, M.I.A., Lauryn Hill, Saint Vincent, Madonna, Fiona Apple, Patti Smith, Joni Mitchell, Björk, Amy Winehouse, Tina Turner, Siouxie, Courtney Love, Janis Joplin, Marianne Faithfull, Nico, Sinead O’Connor, Whitney Houston, Cat Power, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Cher, and many more.
